Review EssayStratification in a Neoliberal Society: The Making of Elites and Occupationally Disabled in Contemporary Sweden
During the last years, organization sociologists have examined neoliberalism in terms of the construction of “employable people,” stressing individuals’ “entrepreneurial” and “self-managing capabilities” as critical factors for their attractiveness on today’s labor markets (e.g. Alvesson and Willmott, 2002; Fleming and Sturdy, 2009; Holmqvist et al, 2013; Maravelias, 2020)
In order to substantiate this argument, in this essay I will offer an analysis of what kind of people are made in two of Sweden’s most important institutions today: The elite business school The Stockholm School of Economics, founded in 1909 by the Swedish business community and the country’s only private university, and the state-owned social corporation Samhall that was founded in 1980 by the center-liberal government
