Family Values - (Near Future) by Melinda Cooper (Paperback)

The "Family Values and Neoliberalism" book is a groundbreaking investigation into the unlikely alliance between free-market neoliberals and social conservatives.

Uncovering the hidden history of the American poor laws, this book reveals how the liberal ethos of personal responsibility was always undergirded by a wider imperative of family responsibility.

The author challenges the idea that neoliberalism privileges atomized individualism over familial solidarities and contractual freedom over inherited status.

Through a series of case studies, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of how the bonds of family have been encouraged and enforced as a necessary counterpart to market freedom.

Don't miss out on this thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between family values and neoliberalism.
