What is the connection between the sleaziness of Harvey Weinstein's
'business meetings' and the passionless doctrine of neoclassical
economics? In this witty and incisive examination of the new
economy, Peter Fleming argues that they are closer than you might
think. The quest to rid society of bureaucracy, shrink government
and burn red tape has certainly made capitalism 'more human', but
not in the family-friendly way envisaged by free-market gurus.
Increasing informality has led to a capitalism fuelled by limitless
exploitation and increasingly seedy methods of management, from
semi-feudal workplace hazing rituals and predatory middle-managers
with an axe to grind to arbitrary zero-hours contracts, Uber and,
perhaps worst of all, the compulsory gym session with your boss.
Fleming dubs this 'Sugar Daddy Capitalism' after the controversial
dating-app wealthy businessmen use to meet young girls, most of
whom are struggling with university fees. What seems like a creepy
outlier is actually a prescient metaphor for our whole economy: an
anonymous and impersonal cash system that is also intent on getting
under your skin, extra close and capable of ruining everything if
you say ... 'no'.
