This book examines the relationship between neoliberalism and insecurity, beginning with the post World War II period and continuing up through the present. Neoliberalism - the dominant political economic perspective that elevates competition above all else at both the structural and individual levels - has increased the amount of insecurity (e.g., food, energy, job) across the world.

This book examines the relationship between neoliberalism and insecurity, beginning with the post World War II period and continuing up through the present. Neoliberalism - the dominant political economic perspective that elevates competition above all else at both the structural and individual levels - has increased the amount of insecurity (e.g., food, energy, job) across the world. It provides a theoretical and empirical analysis of how and why neoliberalism and insecurity have become intertwined over the last half century.
The book takes a novel approach to the study of neoliberalism, insecurity, and their intersection. First, in addition to examining specific types of insecurity, the overall concept of insecurity is defined and theorized as a fundamental part of neoliberal capitalism. Second, to help bypass the structural versus individual binary that has come to characterize much of the neoliberalism literature, a field theoretic framework, heavily influenced by the work of Pierre Bourdieu, is employed.
As such, it will be of great interest for researchers in neoliberalism, insecurity, and Bourdieu's theory of practice, including advanced undergraduate students and graduate scholars from sociology, anthropology, geography, political science, and public health.
