Businesses, municipalities, grassroots activists, and state functionaries share in projects meant to help vulnerable populations become self-supportive. Ironically, such projects produce odd discursive blends of justice, solidarity, and wellbeing, and place the languages of feminist and minority rights side by side with the language of apolitical consumerism. Using theoretical concepts of economic citizenship and emotional capitalism, Economic Citizenship exposes the paradoxes that are deep within neoliberal interpretations of citizenship and analyzes the unexpected consequences of applying globally circulating notions to concrete local contexts.WomenIsraelSocial conditionsWomenIsraelEconomic conditionsWomenEmploymentIsraelPoor womenIsraelSocial conditionsDiscriminationIsraelEqualityIsraelCitizenshipIsraelWomenSocial conditions.WomenEconomic conditions.WomenEmploymentPoor womenSocial conditions.DiscriminationEqualityCitizenship305.4095694Saʻar Amalia1963-1674622MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820346603321Economic citizenship4039576UNINA
