ABSTRACT The paper revisits the works of Barry Bluestone and Bennett Harrison in order to develop a critical commentary on the post-1970s restructuring path of the US economy. It is argued that Bluestone and Harrison's three major books (The Deindustrialization of America, The Great U-Turn , and Growing Prosperity ) not only provide compelling, real-time analyses of three significant moments of neoliberal labor-market restructuring -- the advent of deindustrialization, the emergence of systemic inequality, and the effective 'normalization' of unequal economic growth -- but also, taken as an historically situated body of work, draw attention to a series of long-run trends and institutional shifts in economic regulation which are of particular significance in the present conjuncture. Most pertinently, perhaps, they raise the question of the political and theoretical significance of neoliberalism as a mode of economic regulation and the nature of its relationship -- substantially causal or merely coincidental? -- with the celebrated American boom of the 1990s. Presenting a sympathetic critique of left-institutional analyses of spatial-economic restructuring and associated reform proposals, the paper concludes by arguing that both the institutional durability and the political tenacity of neoliberalism may have been underestimated.

ABSTRACT Neoliberalization processes have been reshaping the landscapes of urban development for more than three decades, but their forms and consequences continue to evolve through an eclectic blend of failure and crisis, regulatory experimentation, and policy transfer across places, territories and scales. The proliferation of familiar neoliberal discourses and policy formulations in the aftermath of the 2007-09 world financial crisis masks evidence of more deeply rooted transformations of policies, institutions and spaces that continue to combatively remake terrains of urban development. Accordingly, the critical intellectual project of deciphering the problematic of neoliberal urbanism must continue to evolve. This essay outlines some of the methodological and political challenges associated with (re)constructing a ′moving map′ of post-crisis neoliberalization processes. We affirm a form of critical urban theory that adopts a restlessly antagonistic stance towards orthodox urban formations and their dominant ideologies, institutional arrangements and societal effects, tracking their endemic policy failures and crisis tendencies while at the same time demarcating potential terrains for heterodox, radical and/or insurgent theories and practices of emancipatory social change.
