520 8  Across the West, hard-right leaders are surging to power 
       on platforms of ethno-economic nationalism, Christianity, 
       and traditional family values. Is this phenomenon the end 
       of neoliberalism or its monstrous offspring? In the Ruins 
       of Neoliberalism casts the hard-right turn as animated by 
       socioeconomically aggrieved white working- and middle-
       class populations but contoured by neoliberalism's 
       multipronged assault on democratic values. From its 
       inception, neoliberalism flirted with authoritarian 
       liberalism as it warred against robust democracy. It 
       repelled social-justice claims through appeals to market 
       freedom and morality. It sought to de-democratize the 
       state, economy, and society and re-secure the patriarchal 
       family. In key works of the founding neoliberal 
       intellectuals, Wendy Brown traces the ambition to replace 
       democratic orders with ones disciplined by markets and 
       traditional morality and democratic states with 
       technocratic ones. Yet plutocracy, white supremacy, 
       politicized mass affect, indifference to truth, and 
       extreme social disinhibition were no part of the 
       neoliberal vision. Brown theorizes their unintentional 
       spurring by neoliberal reason, from its attack on the 
       value of society and its fetish of individual freedom to 
       its legitimation of inequality. Above all, she argues, 
       neoliberalism's intensification of nihilism coupled with 
       its accidental wounding of white male supremacy generates 
       an apocalyptic populism willing to destroy the world 
       rather than endure a future in which this supremacy 
       disappears.
