Description
Undoing the Demos: How Neoliberal Reason Undermines Democracy Wendy Brown examines the impact of neoliberal rationality on democracy, revealing how the constituent elements of democracy are being remade in the image of economic efficiency. The result is a system where concerns with justice and equality are subordinated to the imperatives of growth and market competition. Brown argues that liberal democratic practices are under threat and that a future for democracy depends on it becoming an object of struggle and rethinking. Through a meticulous analysis of neoliberalized law, politics, governance, and education, Brown charts the new common sense that is emerging. She shows how neoliberal reason undermines the political form and political imaginary it promises to secure, leaving democracy in a precarious state. This book is a compelling and original theoretical argument that challenges readers to think critically about the future of democracy.
