Description
Capitalist Humanitarianism by Lucia Hulsether explores how economic elites have adapted to Left critiques and incorporated them into capitalist expansion. This book examines projects such as venture funds, microloans, and fair-trade brands, tracing their emergence and the contexts in which they occur. Hulsetther blends historical and ethnographic styles to track how neoliberal self-critique creates new institutional hegemonies that reproduce racial and neocolonial dispossession. From archives of Christian fair traders to luxury social entrepreneurship conferences, she argues that capitalist humanitarian projects are driven by both a profit motive and a desire to redeem the losses accumulated in their wake. Through its global scope and intimate analysis, Capitalist Humanitarianism sheds light on the complex relationships between capitalism, neoliberalism, and social justice.
