- Summary
- 'This richly comparative analysis of the neo-liberalization 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 neo-liberalization 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 neo-liberal reform to achieve social reproduction-Adam Swain, University of Nottingham.
- Domesticating Neo-Liberalism addresses how we understand the processes of neoliberalization in post-socialist cities. The book develops a conceptualization of these processes that is grounded in the diversity of everyday economic practices and in the ways that the economies of neo-liberalism are 'domesticated'. Based on in-depth research in Poland and Slovakia, it explores how households attempt to create the circumstances for their social reproduction at times when labour markets and job prospects are being transformed and social relationships are rapidly changing. It investigates how households not only attempt to make these wider political-economic changes more tolerable but how, in doing so, they also establish some of the conditions for the re-making of neo-liberalization. --Book Jacket.
