Patrick John Leary, Books, Social and Cultural Studies, Keywords For The Age Of Austerity: A Lexicon Of Inequality, Keywords for the Age of Austerity: A Lexicon of Inequality chronicles the rise of a new vocabulary in the twenty-first century. From Silicon Valley to the White House, from primary school to higher education, and from the factory floor to the church pulpit, we are all called to be innovators and entrepreneurs, to be curators of an ever-expanding roster of competencies. Think of the zealotry of the disruptive entrepreneur and the resilience of the agile thought-leader for a sense of the ideal personality traits of our time: flexible, inexhaustible,and never not at work. Many of these words have a secret history that informs their modern usage in surprising ways - innovation was once false prophecy, and before stakeholder crossed the lips of a single non-profit director it was used by conservative economists opposed to the New Deal.In a series of short essays on terms like entrepreneur, sustainability, artisanal, and synergy, Keywords uses the vocabulary of neoliberalism to discover the contemporary spirit of capitalism. Each entry explores a popular term that displays an affinity for hierarchy, competition, the marketplace, and the virtual technologies of our time. The key words all share a celebration of decisive leadership, dreamy artistry, prophetic vision, and an inexhaustible commitment to work: the pillars of an ideal innovative self.John Patrick Learyis associate professor of English at Wayne State University in Detroit. He is the author of A Cultural History of Underdevelopment: Latin America in the U.S. Imagination (2016).

Keywords: The New Language of Capitalism chronicles the rise of a new vocabulary in the twenty-first century. From Silicon Valley to the White House, from kindergarten to college, and from the factory floor to the church pulpit, we are all called to be innovators and entrepreneurs, to be curators of an ever-expanding roster of competencies, and to become resilient and flexible in the face of the insults and injuries we confront at work. In the midst of increasing inequality, these keywords teach us to thrive by applying the lessons of a competitive marketplace to every sphere of life. What’s more, by celebrating the values of grit, creativity, and passion at school and at work, they assure us that economic success is nothing less than a moral virtue. Organized alphabetically as a lexicon, Keywords explores the history and common usage of major terms in the everyday language of capitalism. Because the words in this book have successfully infiltrated everyday life in the English-speaking world, their meanings often seem self-evident, even benign. Who could be against empowerment, after all? Keywords uncovers the unexpected histories of words like innovation, which was once synonymous with “false prophecy” before it became the prevailing faith of Silicon Valley. Other words, like best practices and human capital, are relatively new coinages that promise us a kind of freedom within a marketplace extending its reach across the public sector and into our private lives. The new language of capitalism burnishes hierarchy, competition, and exploitation as leadership, collaboration, and sharing, modeling for us the habits of the economically successful person: be visionary, be self-reliant, and never, ever stop working., Kindle Edition, Label: Haymarket Books, Haymarket Books, Product group: eBooks, Published: 2018-12-04, Release date: 2018-12-04, Studio: Haymarket Books.
