In this course
Philip Mirowski is an economic historian and theorist whose work critiques neoliberalism's cultural and ideological machinery, particularly its sadistic valorization of winners and vilification of losers. In these readings, his analysis appears alongside Giroux's to diagnose neoliberalism as a coherent system of domination rather than merely economic policy, and his work implicitly contextualizes cyberlibertarian thought—the belief that markets and decentralized technology can replace government—as an extension of neoliberal ideology rather than its antidote. His interventions help the course grapple with how market rationality becomes aestheticized and moralized in ways that shape technological imaginaries.
