In tracing the evolution of neoliberal ideas and their implementation in public policy in Britain and the United States, he does a superb job of helping us understand both the last half-century of Atlantic history and the origins of the current crisis. No book could be more timely.\"\u003cb\u003e--Eric Foner, Columbia University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Daniel Stedman Jones captures brilliantly the interaction between ideas and events in this compelling history of the rise of Thatcherism and Reaganism. He displays a willingness, unusual in a historian, to treat economic ideas seriously, and not just as weapons in a political struggle. In the light of the economic collapse of 2007-2008, the intellectual debates of the 1970s and 1980s, brought so vividly to life here, are as fresh as they were at the time.\"\u003cb\u003e--Robert Skidelsky, author of \u003ci\u003eKeynes: Return of the Master\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Daniel Stedman Jones shows how neoliberalism gained ascendancy in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
