Lars Cornelissen offers an extract from his recent book "Neoliberalism and Race", which argues that race functions as an organizing principle of neoliberal ideology. Drawing on intellectual history and critical race studies, he traces both explicit and coded racial constructs within neoliberal thought from the interwar period to the present. The book shows that racial themes have consistently shaped neoliberalism, to the extent that its racial motifs cannot be removed without rendering it theoretically and politically incoherent.
