Wendy Brown Quotes
As Neoliberalism Wages War On Public Goods And The Very Idea Of A Public, Including Citizenship Beyond Membership, It Dramatically Thins Public Life Without Killing Politics. Struggles Remain Over Power, Hegemonic Values, Resources, And Future Trajectories. This Persistence Of Politics Amid The Destruction Of Public Life And Especially Educated Public Life, Combined With The Marketization Of The Political Sphere, Is Part Of What Makes Contemporary Politics Peculiarly Unappealing And Toxic - Full Of Ranting And Posturing, Emptied Of Intellectual Seriousness, Pandering To An Uneducated And Manipulable Electorate And A Celebrity-and-scandal-hungry Corporate Media. Neoliberalism Generates A Condition Of Politics Absent Democratic Institutions That Would Support A Democratic Public And All That Such A Public Represents At Its Best: Informed Passion, Respectful Deliberation, Aspirational Sovereignty, Sharp Containment Of Powers That Would Overrule Or Undermine It.
