Neoliberal Lives - Work, Politics, Nature, and Health in the Contemporary United States

This book is about the transformation of America that has occurred over the past thirty-five years as capitalist logic has expanded into previously protected spheres of life. It exposes the processes that need to be confronted if human potential is to be freed from the increasingly cramped quarters to which neoliberalism has confined it.
