Domesticating Neo-Liberalism: Spaces of Economic Practice and Social Reproduction in Post-Socialist Cities
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, July 2010, Pages: 320
Based on in-depth research in Poland and Slovakia, Domesticating Neo-Liberalism addresses how we understand the processes of neo-liberalization in post-socialist cities.
- Builds upon a vast amount of new research data
- Examines how households try to sustain their livelihoods at particularly dramatic and difficult times of urban transformation
- Provides a major contribution to how we theorize the geographies of neo-liberalism
- Offers a conclusion which informs discussions of social policy within European Union enlargement
Reviews:
'This richly comparative analysis of the neoliberalization of everyday life in East Central Europe also sheds new light on the everyday lives of neo-liberalism. A marvellous book, it reveals how daily practices of coping, caring, and consuming, production and reproduction, have been bound into processes of 'market transition,' proliferating alternative economies even in this no-alternative age.'
—Jamie Peck, University of British Columbia
'This book makes a valuable contribution to the theorization of neoliberalization by extending it to the realm of the everyday household economy. It is grounded in rich empirical research in working class neighbourhoods in Bratislava and Krakow and argues that households mitigate and tolerate the pernicious social costs of neoliberal reform to achieve social reproduction.'
—Adam Swain, University of Nottingham
