- This book – the result of several years of empirical research – included interviews in London, Brussels, Washington DC and Chicago. Collecting this material was laborious and I was keen to synthesise it to generate an original theory of neoliberal authority, so it wasn’t immediately published, and spent two more years reading various literatures. The ideas of Boltanski were deployed to conceptualise the empirical research and develop a novel framework through which competition was seen as a basis for legitimation and government. The book's combination of empirical and theoretical novelty made all this a lengthy process.
