'A very forceful and compelling argument as to the post-political nature of neoliberal societies' - Julian Reid, University of Lapland, Finland
'In this theoretically sophisticated and wide-ranging book, Taskale shows how regimes of power are consolidated and work through affective logics. With a historically informed analysis and rich illustrative examples, he explores contemporary politics and shows why it fails to deliver.' - Professor Mustafa Dikeç, Ecole d’Urbanisme de Paris and LATTS
