This book is a systematic and thorough analysis of what
post-modernity is and how it emerged. It distinguishes between
those who regard post-modernity as a theoretical approach and those
who regard it as a culture, and argues that interpreting
post-modernity as a culture is more fruitful. It discusses the
three factors which led to its emergence, namely liberalism,
capitalism, and secularism, highlighting their respective influence
in generating the culture of post-modernity within neoliberal
societies. The volume provides a lengthy analysis of neoliberal
post-modernity in practice, arguing that post-modernism is the
cultural condition of neoliberal societies in the late 20th and
early 21st centuries. Until recently it seemed that neoliberal
post-modernity was here to stay, framed by relationship to freedom
and time which stressed individual agency but precluded the
possibility of historical change at the political level. However,
the Great Recession of 2008 opened new spaces for agitation and
transformation which has resulted in the discordant politics of the
last decade. This book will be of interest to scholars working in a
number of fields, including economic policy, cultural analysis,
political theory, and social critique.
