Reviews of the book
Adam Tooze in Chartbook
“a daring rereading of Fukuyama’s end of history thesis. [The authors] spell out the class politics of the end of history, the depoliticizing logic of neoliberalism and postulate a dynamic through which it will be surpassed and overcome.”

Sam Kriss in First Things
“a very insightful and very entertaining text… a book that manages to make sense of the transformations of the last decade… the Bunga boys manage to take all the disparate strands of our era and weave them into a coherent story about the world.” https://www.firstthings.com/article/2022/02/the-end-of-the-end-of-the-end
Jason Mueller in Critical Sociology
“a valuable contribution to debates on politics, populism, and social change. It not only offers a way to understand and theorize the present, but a way to map
a path forward, as we collectively deal with the breakdown of the neoliberal world system.”

Park MacDougald in American Affairs
“Hochuli, Hoare, and Cunliffe are aware of this dynamic, noting in a final chapter on the ‘political ideologies of the future’ that the professional-managerial Left, lacking any organic connection to the working class, may find itself conscripted into the defense of the ailing status quo.” https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2022/02/beginning-of-the-end-or-end-of-the-beginning/
Dan Taylor in Marx & Philosophy Review of Books
“a brilliant little guide to this moment. Pugnacious and sparky, it’s shaped by a deep internationalism, commitment to working class socialism and a wickedly irreverent humour that takes no prisoners.”
