Philip Mirowski

In this course
Mirowski is an economist and critic of neoliberalism who analyzes how market logic has come to dominate contemporary culture and governance, including the promotion of a "sadistic culture" that celebrates winners while vilifying the dispossessed. In these readings, he's mobilized alongside Henry Giroux and media theorists to theorize neoliberalism not merely as economic policy but as a pervasive cultural ideology that shapes subjectivity and social relations—a crucial frame for understanding how AI and automated systems might reproduce and intensify these hierarchies at scale.
