It is not always obvious how the changes identified necessarily reflect a stronger prejudice toward laissez-faire free market capitalism, and so much of the book seeks to demonstrate the subtle ways in which the changing language indeed carries with it a political message. This analysis is made through exploration of five major areas of focus: \"economics rhetoric\" scholarship and the growing \"behavioral economics\" school of thought; the discourse of government and taxation; the changing meaning of \"competition,\" and \"competitive\"; changing attitudes toward labor; and the celebration of growth relative to the decline in attention to economic justice and social equality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54261310062936,"sku":"9781138791497","price":67.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138791497_0263271d-9f70-4f9b-bb8a-85f63c9494cd.jpg?v=1769243415","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/rhetoric-of-the-right-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
