This compelling volume analyzes the wide-scale societal impact of
neoliberal economic policy on contemporary life and behavior.
Synthesizing perspectives from politics and economics with insights
from psychology and linguistics, it argues that market-driven
public institutions promote antisocial thinking, discourage
critical reflection, and inure individuals to inequity and cruelty.
Chapters cite the ubiquity of violence in modern society, from the
marketing of the military to impersonal mass upheavals in the job
market, as devaluing human worth and thus self-worth. But the
editors also assert that these currents are not terminal, and the
book concludes by identifying conditions potentially leading to a
more civil and egalitarian future. Included in the coverage: The
language of current economics: social theory, the market, and the
disappearance of relationships. Neoliberalism and education: the
disfiguration of students. Slicing up societies: commercial media
and the destruction of social environments. Neoliberalism and the
transformation of work. Economics, the network society, and the
ontology of violence. A new economic order without violence. Given
the centrality of economic events on the global stage,
Neoliberalism, Economic Radicalism, and the Normalization of
Violence stands out as both a springboard for discussion and a call
to action, to be read by political and cultural economists,
political scientists, and sociologists.
