CARE AND CAPITALISM - KATHLEEN LYNCH KARTONIERT...

The logics and ethics of neoliberal capitalism dominate public discourses and politics in the
early twenty-first century. They morally endorse and institutionalize forms of competitive
self-interest that jettison social justice values  and are deeply antithetical to love  care
and solidarity. But capitalism is neither invincible nor inevitable. While people are
self-interested  they are not purely self-interested: they are bound affectively and morally to
others  even to unknown others. The cares  loves and solidarity relationships within which
people are engaged give them direction and purpose in their daily lives. They constitute
cultural residuals of hope that stand ready to move humanity beyond a narrow capitalism-centric
set of values. In this instructive and inspiring book  Kathleen Lynch sets out to reclaim the
language of love  care and solidarity both intellectually and politically and to place it at
the heart of contemporary discourse. Her goal is to help unseat capital at the gravitational
centre of meaning-making and value  thereby helping to create logics and ethical priorities for
politics that are led by care  love and solidarity.
