With the spread of neoliberal projects, responsibility for the
welfare of minority and poor citizens has shifted from states to
local communities. Businesses, municipalities, grassroots
activists, and state functionaries share in projects meant to help
vulnerable populations become self-supportive. Ironically, such
projects produce odd discursive blends of justice, solidarity, and
wellbeing, and place the languages of feminist and minority rights
side by side with the language of apolitical consumerism. Using
theoretical concepts of economic citizenship and emotional
capitalism, Economic Citizenship exposes the paradoxes that are
deep within neoliberal interpretations of citizenship and analyzes
the unexpected consequences of applying globally circulating
notions to concrete local contexts.
