However, in Financial Literacy Education: Neoliberalism, the Consumer and the Citizen this particular literacy is argued to be both ineffective and unjust. Socially created poverty, unemployment and economic insecurity require more than individual consumer solutions; they require collective responses by engaged, critical citizens. Utilizing concepts from Marx, Foucault, Bourdieu and Baudrillard this book challenges those who claim that ?there is no alternative? to neoliberal insecurity and reduce education to a consumerist training of entrepreneurial consumer-citizens who can continually invest in themselves and the market. Through an analysis of consumer fi nancial literacy education?s present and historical supports, as well as its likely effects, this book argues that the choice before us is not fi nancial illiteracy or fi nancial literacy. Rather, the choice is between subjugation to the requirements of perpetual competition or overcoming alienation, insecurity and exploitation, aims the critical fi nancial literacy education outlined at the end of this book supports. This book will appeal to those interested in understanding the conditions of our freedom in an increasingly fi nancialized world ? critical educators, philosophers and sociologists of education and fi nancial literacy researchers. 410 0$aEducational futures ;$vv. 53. 606 $aFinancial literacy$xStudy and teaching 606 $aNeoliberalism 606 $aConsumer protection 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFinancial literacy$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aNeoliberalism. 615 0$aConsumer protection. 676 $a370 700 $aArthur$b Chris$01039623 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463066303321 996 $aFinancial literacy education$92461946 997 $aUNINA
