Michel Feher, The Age of Appreciation: Lectures on the
Neoliberal Condition
2013-2015
Visiting Professor Michel Feher delivered an
eight-part lecture series on neoliberalism and investee politics. Neoliberalism has defined a brave new capitalist world in which financial
markets preside over the allocation of resources. Investors not only reap an
exorbitant rent from the production of others, they are also invested with the
power to decide what is worth producing. This lecture series argues that the
rule of investors proves as transformative of personal motivation and conduct
as of corporate management and statecraft. Just as with previous shifts in
governing practices, a new representation of human potential and human
frailties—a distinctively neoliberal perspective on the human condition—is
implicated in the financial turn of capitalism.
