In this week’s Diet Soap, Ashley Frawley talks to David Chandler, Professor of International Relations at the Univerity of Westminster. They talk about one of Ashley’s favourite books of his, The Neoliberal Subject: Resilience, Adaptation and Vulnerability, co-authored with Julian Reid. Is it really progressive when international organisations talk about building resilience and emphasise, small-scale and bottom-up interventions? Or is this just a cover for keeping things as they are? Chandler and Reid’s book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neoliberal-Subject-Resilience-Adaptation-Vulnerability-ebook/dp/B086R8FPY5
