Neoliberal citizenship : sacred markets, sacrificial lives / Luca Mavelli. - 1 online resource (viii, 291 pages). - Oxford scholarship online . - Oxford scholarship online. .
Also issued in print: 2022.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
With cosmopolitan illusions put to rest, Europe is now haunted by a pervasive neoliberal transformation of citizenship that subordinates inclusion, protection, and belonging to rationalities of value. Against the backdrop of four major crises - Eurozone, refugee, Brexit, and the COVID-19 pandemic - this book explores how neoliberal citizenship rewrites identities and solidarities in economic terms. The result is a sacralised market order in which those superfluous to economic needs and regarded as unproductive consumers of resources - be they undocumented migrants, debased citizens of austerity, or the elderly in care homes - are excluded and sacrificed for the well-being of the economy.
