What happens when this rationality transposes the constituent elements of democracy into an economic register? In vivid detail, Wendy Brown explains how democracy itself is imperiled. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe demos disintegrates into bits of human capital; concerns with justice cede to the mandates of growth rates, credit ratings, and investment climates; liberty submits to the imperative of human capital appreciation; equality dissolves into market competition; and popular sovereignty grows incoherent. Liberal democratic practices may not survive these transformations. Radical democratic dreams may not either. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn an original and compelling theoretical argument, Brown explains how and why neoliberal reason undoes the political form and political imaginary it falsely promises to secure and reinvigorate. Through meticulous analyses of neoliberalized law, political practices, governance, and education, she charts the new common sense. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eUndoing the Demos\u003c\/i\u003e makes clear that, far from being the lodestar of the twenty-first century, a future for democracy depends upon it becoming an object of struggle and rethinking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zone Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935408536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Wendy Brown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36671040127132,"sku":"9781935408536","price":31.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_cebcd016-b02f-4338-b1ac-1886315f50e3.jpg?v=1603924294","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/undoing-the-demos-neoliberalisms-stealth-revolution-9781935408536","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
