Thank you (especially about the new edition). I suppose the critique of neoliberalism is in the book as well, or would I have to go to a separate book for that? That's what I think I love about SS Wolin, him very comfortably taking all the symptoms into a single, reasonably clear vision.

Yes, it's in the book. Wolin doesn't really provide a critique of neoliberalism as an economic doctrine. (In fact, he doesn't use the term the way we do, and what he refers to as "neo-liberalism" is the turn liberalism as a political ideology took in the fifties.) What he does is take it as self-evident that the dismantling of the welfare state is a bad thing, and consider the political implications of a large segment of the population having an increasingly precarious economic existence.
