Synopsis:
In 1960, Paul Goodman argued that the Fordist system that treated people as mere cogs in a machine had created a profound unhappiness in young people and in American society as a whole. More than half a century later, professor David Blacker recognizes that decades of neoliberalism have pushed young people beyond unhappiness and into a collective identity crisis. Overall, Americans no longer feel needed to do jobs that had previously anchored them in society and are becoming disconnected and purposeless. The proliferation of new identities is symptomatic of neoliberalism and its hyper-commodification and deregulation of everyday life. But it's not all doom and gloom: the de-anchoring process opens a new "world" of possibilities that Blacker details in the book's later chapters.
About the Author: David Blacker is Professor of Philosophy of Education and Legal Studies at the University of Delaware.

He was selected by the University of Illinois's Center for Advanced Study for its prestigious campus-wide MillerComm Lecture Series.
