The Social Contract and Neoliberal Social Policy

A/Prof Jonathon Wistow chats about how despite the hold of competitive and possessive individualism in neoliberal societies, he thinks the Social Contract is not yet broken.

We discuss his new book Social Policy, Political Economy and the Social Contract and how he uses Complexity theory and Social Contract theory to investigate issues like health inequalities, climate change adaptation, and post-industrialism and class. More about Jonathon here
