In The Ruins Of Neoliberalism by Wendy Brown
The Rise of Antidemocratic Politics in the West
This book argues that the widespread adoption of market-driven logic has hollowed out democratic institutions and civic life, reshaping citizens into competitive, market-oriented subjects and making social relations and public goods subordinate to capital and profitability; the result is increased inequality, precarity, and a depoliticized public sphere in which law, education, and even state functions are retooled to serve market ends, leaving space for authoritarian tendencies and a crisis of democratic possibility while also pointing toward the need to reclaim collective political imaginaries and rebuild institutions that resist economistic governance.
