What is the impact of three decades of neoliberal narratives and policies on communities and individual lives? What are the sources of social resilience? This book offers a sweeping assessment of the effects of neoliberalism, the dominant feature of our times. It analyzes the ideology in unusually wide-ranging terms as a movement that not only opened markets but also introduced new logics into social life, integrating macro-level analyses of the ways in which neoliberal narratives made their way into international policy regimes with micro-level analyses of the ways in which individuals responded to the challenges of the neoliberal era. The product of ten years of collaboration among a distinguished group of scholars, it integrates institutional and cultural analysis in new ways to understand neoliberalism as a syncretic social process and to explore the sources of social resilience across communities in the developed and developing worlds. Building on Hall and Lamont's previous Cambridge University Press book, Successful Societies: How Institutions and Culture Affect Health (2009), this book covers a wide range of national cases in the developing and developed world Presents an interdisciplinary approach to neoliberalism conceived as an open-ended syncretic process which can have positive and negative impacts on people's lives Based on ten years of collaboration among distinguished scholars in a diverse range of social sciences, the book develops a new understanding of social resilience as rooted in the resources made available to individuals by the institutional and cultural frameworks of society Integrates institutional analysis grounded in political science and economics with the cultural analyses of sociology and anthropology
