Recenzii
McKean's theory of freedom within the supply chain builds on an admirably diverse set of authors. He reads generously and synthetically across traditions to propose a comprehensive vision of how we might understand and work for genuine freedom within a global economy
[A] genuine achievement in political theory, markedly advancing debates about neoliberalism, global justice, and freedom.
McKean's book offers a powerful and persuasive new account of global (in)justice and solidarity; it is an inspiring call to arms for egalitarian theorists. ... [T]his book is a major contribution to international political theory and that it sets a superb example of how to combine scholarly rigour with what might be called activist theorising.
[W]ell-researched and documented...help[s] us better understand our world today.
It is vital, for reasons McKean persuasively develops, to separate collective empowerment from the impossible ideal of state sovereignty. McKean also provides powerful reasons to begin the critique of neoliberalism from the reality of global supply chains understood as political structures that should be subject to critique and political resistance. Disorienting Neoliberalism thus stands as a genuine achievement in political theory, markedly advancing debates about neoliberalism, global justice, and freedom.
Benjamin McKean strikes out a refreshing place in the global justice literature. Rather than apply abstractions to a world that doesn't yet exist, McKean wants to orient global activists to act in the world in which we find ourselves. He does this beautifully with the case of the global supply chain. His analysis shifts Western social justice activists from feeling obliged to save overseas sweatshop workers toward recognizing their solidarity as both being subject — though not in the same ways with the same material consequences — to globalization.
This is the one book you need if you want to understand our world and contribute to the movements that will change it. Brilliant and accessible, grounded in real stories and often heartbreakingly funny, political theorists will love it, but so will organizers and everyone interested in why things are not working. McKean gives us global justice theory as it ought to be: grounded in political economy, oriented towards solidarity, and aiming for a new freedom beyond our exhausted free-market pieties.
Disorienting Neoliberalism argues that people with privilege must act in solidarity with victims of injustice to transform unjust social arrangements. There's much to recommend in this thoughtfully, and passionately-written book, but McKean's discussion and critique of supply chains as crucial structures of global injustice stands out as fresh, timely, and deeply illuminating. Anyone concerned with global economic injustice will benefit from reading this important work.
Liberal theories of global justice have all overlooked the advent of neoliberal practices since John Rawls published his famous Theory of Justice in 1971. In this deeply insightful book, Benjamin McKean reorients our thinking on global justice and domestic inequality. McKean brilliantly explores the contemporary reality of transnational supply chains and, drawing on a more social conception of freedom from the work of Hegel, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Rawls himself, advocates for an ethos of solidarity. Erudite, provocative, and insightful, this book is written in a personal tone that makes it also a pleasure to read.
A neoliberal world of transnational supply chains presents those of us in wealthy countries with a paradox: such chains seem to enhance our well-being and freedom while visiting suffering on others across borders. McKean creatively argues that such chains actually harm our freedom as well as theirs. Thus the basic disposition we should cultivate is not humanitarian pity but rather a political sense of global solidarity. This book is marvelously ambitious and deeply thought-provoking; a real achievement.
The political theory of the supply chain presented in Benjamin McKean's Disorienting Neoliberalism is a powerful response to critiques of neoliberal ideology or theories of global justice that remain erroneously unmoored from the concrete conditions of capitalist production in our present.

The book's overarching argument is elegantly ambitious. [...] In questions of socialist transition and of circulation worker struggles, McKean's stimulating book will find generative interlocutors with a shared investment in revolutionary justice, theory's own outer limit.
