Economic Citizenship
Neoliberal Paradoxes of Empowerment
Sa'ar, A.
Economic Citizenship explores shifting responsibility for the welfare of minority and poor citizens, which has shifted from states to local communities through neoliberalization. This has produced odd discursive blends of justice, solidarity, and wellbeing, and placed the languages of feminist and minority rights side by side with the language of apolitical consumerism.
