Lending itself to both a form of government (Herrschaft) and group organization or leadership styles that favor obedience over debate, authoritarianism has made a comeback in recent years.
I examine how today’s authoritarianism looks and feels, especially in conjunction with neoliberal imperatives such as adaptability to market demands and the cultivation of entrepreneurialism.
These imperatives influence government and the ways in which citizens view their roles in capitalist societies—for example, as patriotically-minded entrepreneurs.
I research how authoritarian practices and neoliberal techniques shape life in the Euro-American world and beyond.
