A book I’ve co-edited with Marc Lenormand has just been published:
Neoliberalism in Context: Governance, Subjectivity and Knowledge (Palgrave, 2019)
There are several links for some reason.
Palgrave: https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783030260163

SpringerLink: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-3-030-26017-0
If you go to the SpringerLink site and download the ‘frontmatter’ and ‘backmatter’, there are some Easter Eggs for you: free access to the Introduction and an Interview with Jamie Peck.
Blurb
Neoliberalism in Context adopts a processual, relational and contextual framework, bringing together contributions from diverse national and disciplinary contexts, and bridging theoretical and methodological approaches to critiquing neoliberalism.
The book presents arguments on the extent to which we are still living in neoliberal times, and illustrates examples of variation in the practice of neoliberalization and within neoliberal thought. The contributions also examine the mediation and significance of existing neoliberalism on subjectivity, and address the consequences of the neoliberalization of education for critical thinking generally, and for the critique of neoliberalism in particular.
This collection will be of interest to students and scholars across sociology, international relations urban studies, and media and cultural studies.
