Abstract
Book Review: The Morals of the Market: Human Rights and the Rise of Neoliberalism
Highlights
Jessica Whyte, a political theorist and an associate professor at the in the School of Humanities and Languages and the School of Law at the University of New South Wales, chose a clever title to her new book, finished around June 2018 (p. 236) and issued in November 2019
To the same extent that alternatives to the dominant position of neoliberalism in Western political economy are considered in this very capacity – as alternatives that lost the struggle for general acceptance – Whyte does not generally refer to human rights as a synonym of a wider scope of fundamental rights grouping every civil, political, social and economic right listed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
She refers to the concerted effort observed during the past hundred years to re-define and enforce a set of rights that are compatible with the market economy, while relegating the remaining rights to a position of enmity
