1. Economies Of Abandonment
Social Belonging and Endurance in Late Liberalism
This thought-provoking work delves into the complexities of late liberalism, exploring how certain communities are marginalized and abandoned by dominant economic and political systems. Through a blend of ethnographic research and theoretical analysis, the narrative examines the lived experiences of those on the fringes, highlighting the tensions between governance, social justice, and cultural survival. The book challenges readers to reconsider the implications of policies that prioritize economic growth over human welfare, urging a reimagining of societal structures to foster inclusivity and equity.
