Books

I am author of The Happiness Industry: How the Government & Big Business Sold Us Wellbeing (Verso, 2015) and The Limits of Neoliberalism: Authority, Sovereignty and the Logic of Competition (Sage, 2014), Nervous States: How Feeling Took Over the World, (Jonathan Cape, 2018) and editor of Economic Science Fictions (Goldsmiths Press, 2018).  This Is Not Normal: The Collapse of Liberal Britain, (Verso, 2020) is a collection of my essays over the course of 2016-19.

My most recent book, co-authored with three colleagues at Goldsmiths, is Unprecedented?: How Covid-19 Revealed the Politics of Our Economy. My next book will develop ideas surrounding ‘reactions’ and ‘the reaction economy‘, and will be published by Princeton University Press.
