Synthesizing perspectives from politics and economics with insights from psychology and linguistics, it argues that market-driven public institutions promote antisocial thinking, discourage critical reflection, and inure individuals to inequity and cruelty. Chapters cite the ubiquity of violence in modern society, from the marketing of the military to impersonal mass upheavals in the job market, as devaluing human worth and thus self-worth. But the editors also assert that these currents are not terminal, and the book concludes by identifying conditions potentially leading to a more civil and egalitarian future.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIncluded in the coverage:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe      language of current economics: social theory, the market, and the      disappearance of relationships.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eNeoliberalism      and education: the disfiguration of students.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSlicing      up societies: commercial media and the destruction of social environments.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eNeoliberalism      and the transformation of work.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eEconomics,      the network society, and the ontology of violence.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eA new      economic order without violence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eGiven the centrality of economic events on the global stage,\u003ci\u003e Neoliberalism, Economic Radicalism, and the Normalization of Violence\u003c\/i\u003e stands out as botha springboard for discussion and a call to action, to be read by political and cultural economists, political scientists, and sociologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-12-18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319251677\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-25169-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 168\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46547319488652,"sku":"9783319251677","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319251677_26959124-711e-46ea-b32c-f89ac58fdbd4.jpg?v=1772925437","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319251677","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
