Beskrivning

Within this period of unstable institutions and social guarantees, traditional paths of resistance appear to have exhausted their efficacy. Jerzy Kociatkiewicz, Monika Kostera, and Anna Zueva explore novel approaches to understanding and improving resistance against inequality, injustice, and environmental breakdown. Chapters reframe the narrative of the word ‘resistance’, treating it as a constructive element of the common good. They dissect the myth of technological determinism to advocate for more socially responsible engagements. Proposing imagination as a pathway of resistance, the book examines themes of leadership, technology, property, and management to redefine resistance. It moves beyond binary choices to place faith in the nurture of complex human connections and solidarity, and stresses the importance of belonging as an essential resource for organizers. Resistance and the Neoliberal Organization is a valuable resource for students and academics of business management, ethics, and trust. Researchers and policymakers interested in sociology and organizational behaviour will also benefit from the insights provided.

Recensioner i media

‘Do I have the feeling that I just want to quit? Certainly, but the authors of this book tell me that quitting, or deserting, might be a very good thing to do. Searching for meso-level strategies and tactics, the authors craft arguments and show examples of why the act of quitting is a fruitful way of working against neoliberalism in organizations. Woody Guthrie once wrote “This machine kills fascists” on his acoustic guitar. I want to write “This machine quits neoliberalism” on this book’s cover. Imagine this book in the hands of business students!’
