It extends the investigation begun in \u003ci\u003eThe Democratic Gulag\u003c\/i\u003e (2015) that argued that we live in a social and ideological gulag dominated by the meta-ideology of patriarchy that has defined and circumscribed every aspect of the social experience of humanity for millennia to the detriment of all. \u003ci\u003eThe Economic Gulag\u003c\/i\u003e explores how patriarchy is infused within capitalist theory and practice. It offers a socially democratic critique and alternatives to reform its dominance. Through the lens of critical theory and the use of current empirical and statistical research, \u003ci\u003eThe Economic Gulag\u003c\/i\u003e deconstructs the modern neoliberal capitalist wealth myth and its underlying theory of \u003ci\u003ehomo economicus\u003c\/i\u003e. This book exposes a system rife with deception, inequality, human exploitation, and misery that is touted as the unchallenged champion of democratic individualism and success. \u003ci\u003eThe Economic Gulag\u003c\/i\u003e makes a powerful case for the pressing need to dismantle the democratic and economic gulags in which we live and replace them with a new ideal social democracy based on true economic equality and fairness in a post-patriarchal and post-capitalist world. It concludes with fifteen radical, powerful, and transformative recommendations for change that will provide the \"shock therapy\" required to usher in a new socially democratic order liberated from patriarchy and all its vestiges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54181717934424,"sku":null,"price":115.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781433153761_a8cfcec8-db71-4233-a407-df5e3962fc34.jpg?v=1764455423","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-economic-gulag-patriarchy-capitalism-and-inequality","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
