Sadržaj: Krećući od pretpostavke o neodvojivosti ekonomske, političke i kulturne sfere, kolegij nudi pregled glavnih društvenih procesa povezanih s razvojem neoliberalizma u SAD-u. Povijesni okvir kolegija omeđen je krizama 1973. i 2008. godine, odnosno postupnim okretanjem od keynesianske politike i usponom neoklasične ekonomije i ideja Čikaške škole od 1970ih do danas. Tematski, kolegij obuhvaća cjeline koje neoliberalizam stavljaju u odnos prema: liberalizmu, neokonzervativizmu, problematici prostora, demokratskoj politici, radu i trenucima krize. Naglasak je kolegija na kulturnim aspektima neoliberalizma, pa će se navedene teme obrađivati prvenstveno, ali ne isključivo, na književnom i filmskom korpusu.
Cilj: Upoznavanje studenata s razvojem neoliberalizma u SAD-u; kritičko promišljanje povijesnih procesa; upoznavanje s relevantnom kritičkom literaturom.
