- Synopsis
- The neoliberalism of Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek is more than an economic theory, according to Giroux (English and cultural studies, McMaster U., Canada). It must be understood (and challenged) also as a powerful public pedagogy and cultural politics. Since education and culture play prominent political and economic roles in securing consent and producing capital, cultural politics must supplement economic and institutional struggles in the fight against the social damage of neoliberalism. In order to aid this task he seeks to describe how neoliberalism works at the level of everyday life through the language of privatization and the lived cultural forms of class, race, gender, youth, and ethnicity.
