Draws 3 main lessons from recent regulatory developments on both sides of the Atlantic. 1) Deregulation and privatization have not meant an end to all regulation. 2) Experience shows the fallacy of assuming that public ownership guarantees public control. 3) American deregulation has proved to be considerably more forceful than European privatization in introducing competition and restructuring key economic sectors. Differences in styles and methods of regulation explain these different outcomes. (Original abstract-amended)

Spätestens seit dem Fall der Berliner Mauer galt der Neoliberalismus mit seiner Tendenz zur umfassenden Deregulierung als adäquate Epochenbestimmung. Seit einiger Zeit wird das Bild aber um einige Ambivalenzen reicher: Wirtschaftsfreundliche Regierungen wie in den USA oder Großbritannien kritisieren Freihandel und Migration, Konservative streiten gegen »Political Correctness« sowie für die ungehemmte Meinungsfreiheit und vieles mehr. Scheinbar jenseits der Unterscheidungen rechts/links, progressiv/konservativ erweist sich die Deregulation eng verwoben mit dem Wunsch nach Restauration. Diese ambivalente Figur ist jedoch nicht neu, sondern wird spätestens seit den 1950er-Jahren durch verschiedene intellektuelle Interventionen formiert, deren signifikanteste Facetten in diesem Sammelband vorgestellt werden. Der Band behandelt Texte, die den Blick auf liberale beziehungsweise reaktionäre Konstellationen freigeben, die für neoliberales Denken anschlussfähig wurden: wirtschaftstheoretische Gründungsdokumente,philosophische und politische Interventionen, Staats- und Gesellschaftsentwürfe, technologie- und medientheoretische Schriften, ökologische und postkoloniale Utopien sowie populistische Traktate.
