Abstract
The epilogue offers a summary of and final word on the analysis of the development of neoliberalism, including a set of reflections on the deeply rooted problems that characterize neoliberalism. It also contains thoughts on those paradigms and key actors that might have the potential to replace neoliberalism and the sovereign consumer in future political economies.
