THE MORALS OF THE MARKET - JESSICA WHYTE KARTON...

Drawing on detailed archival research on the parallel histories of human rights and
neoliberalism  Jessica Whyte uncovers the place of human rights in neoliberal attempts to
develop a moral framework for a market society. In the wake of the Second World War 
neoliberals saw demands for new rights to social welfare and self-determination as threats to
civilisation. Yet  rather than rejecting rights  they developed a distinctive account of human
rights as tools to depoliticise civil society  protect private investments and shape liberal
subjects.
