Description

We live in an age of economics.  We are encouraged not only to think of our work but also of our lives in economic terms.  In many of our practices, we are told that we are consumers and entrepreneurs.  What has come to be called neoliberalism is not only a theory of market relations; it is a theory of human relations.  Friendship in an Age of Economics both describes and confronts this new reality.  It confronts it on some familiar terrain:  that of friendship.  Friendship, particularly close or deep friendship, resists categorization into economic terms.  In a sustained investigation of friendship, this book shows how friendship offers an alternative to neoliberal relationships and can help lay the groundwork for resistance to it.
