Neaman wrote the introduction to the book.[6] Neaman also writes about contemporary issues in European economics and foreign policy. In 2014 he co-published "LIght at the End of the Tunnel; the Eurozone's Sovereign Debt Problem in The Journal of World Economics.[7]

Neaman's latest book is about the youth revolts in Germany in the 1960s and terrorism in the 1970s, Free Radicals; Agitators, Hippies, Urban Guerillas and Germany's Youth Revolt of the 1960s and 1970s (Telos Press, 2016).[8]
