Description

Explore a deep critique of the intellectual and political structures that shape our modern world. In this work, Marie Pellegrin-Rescia and Yair Levi examine how the dominance of the rational economic agent influences our understanding of society. By drawing on the theories of Polanyi, Austin, and Lacan, the authors challenge the common tendency to divide concepts like the social and the economic, or globalization and anti-globalization, into strict dichotomies. Through a series of case studies focused on co-operatives, this book reveals how these organizations function as paradoxical entities within our current worldview. The text provides a necessary look at the categories of thought that define contemporary politics and economics. It is a significant resource for those studying the intersection of sociology, economics, and political theory, offering a different way to view the relationship between the individual and the collective.
