This book explores how neo-jihadist organizations like Al Qaeda and Islamic State engage with neoliberalism in their anti-capitalist propaganda and quasi-capitalist financial practices. It reveals interactions between neoliberalism and neo-jihadism characterized by surface-level contradiction and structural connections that are both dialectical and mutually reinforcing.

This groundbreaking book delves into the political-economic aspects of 'neo-jihadism' in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Drawing upon Bourdieusian and neo-Marxist frameworks, it explores how Al Qaeda and Islamic State, two prominent neo-jihadist organizations, engage with the capitalist paradigm of neoliberalism in their anti-capitalist propaganda and quasi-capitalist financial practices.

Richards sheds light on the intricate interactions between neoliberalism and neo-jihadism, revealing surface-level contradictions and structural connections that are both dialectical and mutually reinforcing. Neoliberalism, in this context, serves as an underlying 'status quo,' while neo-jihadism, as an evolving form of political organization, is perpetuated within this situation.

Al Qaeda and Islamic State stand as unique and exclusive examples of the revolutionary phenomenon of neo-jihadism. By reconstituting the dominant political-economic paradigm of neoliberalism, they have responded to and mobilized against it. This book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics between these two entities and their impact on global politics and economics.
