B&B: Gendered #economics // Social #drinking // #Competition amok // Neoliberal beliefs vs. #neoliberal reality // Do protests work? // #Business’ counter-mobilization // Pro-poor market See the full articles: https://economicsociology.org/2018/08/16/bb-gendered-economics-social-drinking-competition-amok-neoliberal-beliefs-vs-neoliberal-reality-do-protests-work-business-counter-mobilization-pro-poor-market/Did #Neoliberalism and #Austerity Cause #Brexit? Yes. The withdrawal of the #welfare state (such as the so-called ‘bedroom-tax’, and the squeeze of disability living allowance, more), brought about by the Conservative-led government since 2010, are key to understanding how pressures to hold an EU referendum built up and why the Leave side won. See an important and very interesting research by an #economics professor Thiemo Fetzer. https://economicsociology.org/2018/08/14/did-neoliberalism-and-austerity-cause-brexit-yes/ #politicaleconomy #economicsociologyTags
