Product Description
This book attempts to explore the effects of neoliberalism on particular forms of community. Guy Standing (2011) has popularised the notion of precariousness to describe the unpredictable neoliberal conditions faced by radically different people throughout the world. Members of Standingâs âprecariatâ lack occupational identities treat work and other moneymaking activities instrumentally are focused on the short-term and have no âshadow of the futureâ hanging over their actions leaving little incentive to sustain long-term relationships and productive but unpaid social activities. This issue presents an interdisciplinary account of the challenges faced by communities at a time in which neoliberalism seems unchecked and uncheckable by the rise of nationalist populism. At points responses are presented but it is perhaps reflective of the general sense of helplessness of those committed to tackling neoliberalism that the final article highlights serious deficits in an approach commonly presented as a practicable response: basic income. In the spirit of participation each article is accompanied by a reply by a non-academic as well as an academic. This ought not to be seen as tokenism â the experience of the project has been that discussions can be advanced much more effectively through engagement with community members and professionals. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Global Discourse. | Precariousness Community and Participation
