Social Harm and Neoliberalism: The Problem of Ignorance

This book links criminological, political, moral, and philosophical issues to offer a deeper understanding of the problem of social harm within the neoliberal environment.

Illustrated through case studies, John Gregson shows that social harms are a problem created not only by politics or economics, states or corporations, but also by the individualism that neoliberal societies encourage. He argues that key factors that deepen the problem of social harm include the neoliberal production of ignorance and subjectivity, along with liberal modernity itself.
