Neoliberal Culture

Living with American Neoliberalism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Neoliberal Culture presents a framework for analysing neoliberalism in the United States as a culture - or structure of feeling - which shapes American everyday life. The book proposes five 'components' as the keys to any study of American neoliberal culture: biopower, corporatocracy, globalization, the erosion of welfare-state society, and hyperlegality. Carefully organized according to its central themes and adopting a case study approach in order to allow for thorough, illustrated analyses, this book is an important tool for scholars and students of contemporary cultural studies, popular culture, American Studies, and sociology.
