5.0 out of 5 stars
Highly recommended, October 24, 2008
This review is from: Life As Surplus: Biotechnology and Capitalism in the Neoliberal Era (Paperback)
Insightful, innovative, highly readable, though at times dense. Cooper provides a novel analysis of the encounter between neoliberal innovation economies, biotechnology and the religious right. The strength of the book lies in its theoretical rigour and historical detail. It also advances some provocative ideas about the nature of neoliberal economics, namely that its long-term success is fed by its own regulation/deregulation dynamics.

Prescient, smart & vital, August 14, 2011
This review is from: Life As Surplus: Biotechnology and Capitalism in the Neoliberal Era (Paperback)
A prescient & insightful contribution not only to Science & Technology Studies, but to broader dialogues about biopolitics, markets, capitalism and environmentalism. I find myself recommending this book to many people whose interests and scholarship cross a wide spectrum. I can't wait for her next book.
