From the ruins of neoliberalism to where

Prof. Wendy Brown discusses troubling legacies of western freedom and argues that these legacies were not part of the neoliberal vision; however, they unintentionally sprung by neoliberal reason. She argues that liberalism goes further by detaching freedom from both emancipation and democracy, rendering it instead as the protection of individuals against intrusions of political or personal power. She also discusses other troubling legacies of Western predicament of freedom especially in the struggle over racial, gendered, and ecological politics.
