Reviews
"Caterino and Hansen masterfully deploy the insights of democratic theorists such as C.B. Macpherson, Carole Pateman, and Carol Gould to remedy deficits in Frankfurt School critical theory concerning political economy up to the latest mutations of neoliberal capitalism. Their thoughtful criticisms and bold synthesis should inform any attempt to rethink critical theory for the twenty-first century."
Patrick McGovern, Department of Political Science, SUNY-Buffalo State:
“Timely, well written, and interesting, Critical Theory, Democracy, and the Challenge of Neoliberalism provides insightful critiques of modern capitalism, culture, and scholarship. This is an important work for those familiar with the Frankfurt School and looking to situate it within the context of present politics.”
