Description
Care and Capitalism by Kathleen Lynch explores the relationship between capitalism and values such as love, care, and solidarity. While neoliberal capitalism prioritises competitive self-interest, people are bound to others through emotional and moral connections that give direction and purpose in daily life. This book aims to reclaim these values intellectually and politically, seeking to create alternative logics and ethical priorities for politics led by care, love, and solidarity. By challenging the dominant discourse of capitalism, Lynch seeks to help unseat capital from its central role in meaning-making and value. Instead, she argues that a focus on care, love, and solidarity can provide a more nuanced understanding of human relationships and their place in society. This book offers an instructive and thought-provoking analysis of the possibilities for alternative values and politics.
