Book Review: Levers of Power: How the 1% Rules and What the 99% Can Do About It

Abstract

neoliberal human rights were created to secure and procreate market capitalism, on the other hand, the functioning of the free market has also depended on the rule of law and recognition of human rights, especially in the face of political challenges. Neoliberalism is not only about structural reforms, but also a social reconfiguration that models the society in the image of competitive market. The Morals of the Market puts forth that neoliberal approaches were founded on morality and politics rather than pure economics and that it would be unwise to explain neoliberal governmentality only from the perspective of economic ideas of the free market.
