Wendy Brown
Neoliberalism's fiercest critic
Wendy Brown is one of the most influential political theorists of her generation, known for her penetrating analyses of power, neoliberalism, democracy, and the fate of the public good in contemporary political life. Brown is currently the UPS Foundation Professor in the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (as of 2021) and is Professor Emerita of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley.
Her major works include Undoing The Demos, which argues neoliberalism turns citizens into economic agents, In The Ruins of Neoliberalism, which explains the emergence of populism in response to neoliberal thought and Nihilistic Times: Thinking with Max Weber, which charts a crisis in human values.
