The concept of individual responsibility has taken on a signi?cance
comparable to that of 'choice' in the global rise of neo-liberalism
of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The rise of
neo-liberalism is most often analysed through the lenses of theory,
governmentality and societal structures. There has been a tendency
for an- ysis to become overly abstract with the subjective
experiences of the social actors missing dimensions in the
literature. This book draws on more than 20 years of international
research that has focused on the subjective experiences of people
as actors in changing social landscapes. These landscapes are
differently positioned politically, economically and socially, in
relation to the rise of neo-liberalism. Comparisons enable the
differences in people's experiences to be located, explored and
explained in relation to different soc- economic landscapes, thus
throwing into relief the effects of neo-liberal policies where they
are found. My approach is to create an extended dialogue between
ideas and evidence, starting close to home, and then extending to
speci?c international comparisons and to wider explorations of the
central themes of the book: human agency and social responsibility.
Finally, I return to social landscapes of Britain, to review the
position and potential for social change in societies that
exemplify what Sennett has termed 'Anglo-American regimes', in
contrast to 'Rhine regimes' as exempli?ed by Germany.
