This book provides an analysis of neo-liberal political economics
implemented in Ireland and the deleterious consequences of that
model in terms of polarised social inequalities, impoverished
public services and fiscal vulnerability as they appear in central
social policy domains - health, housing and education in
particular. Tracing the argument into the domains where the
institutions are sustained and reproduced, this book examines the
movement of modern economics away from its original concern with
the household and anthropologically universal deep human needs to
care for the vulnerable - the sick, children and the elderly - and
to maintain inter-generational solidarity. The authors argue that
the financialisation of social relations undermines the foundations
of civilisation and opens up a marketised barbarism. Civic
catastrophes of violent conflict and authoritarian liberalism are
here illustrated as aspects of the 'rough beast' that slouches in
when things are falling apart and people become prey to new forms
of domination. -- .
