Market Versus SocietyEconomy and Society, Neoliberal Reform and Economic Deviance

Market Versus Society: Economy and Society, Neoliberal Reform and Economic Deviance [This chapter views economic deviance in terms of factors, particularly neoliberal reform, which reduced social services, extended market activity, and reduced economic regulation, and if these changes affect the likelihood that people will act in deviant ways. The author links these conditions bothto petty corruption carried out by the poor to secure scarce social services and fraudulent activity by the rich and firms to secure profit. These activities are approached in terms of the distinction between economic and social values. Neoliberal reform strengthened the economic over the social, and so resembles the liberalisation of the English economy late in the eighteenth century, which led to disagreement about what is deviant. Neoliberals, like the English liberals of the eighteenth century, tend to see as reasonable activities that are seen as deviant by those who embrace the older order.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter views economic deviance in terms of factors, particularly neoliberal reform, which reduced social services, extended market activity, and reduced economic regulation, and if these changes affect the likelihood that people will act in deviant ways. The author links these conditions bothto petty corruption carried out by the poor to secure scarce social services and fraudulent activity by the rich and firms to secure profit. These activities are approached in terms of the distinction between economic and social values. Neoliberal reform strengthened the economic over the social, and so resembles the liberalisation of the English economy late in the eighteenth century, which led to disagreement about what is deviant. Neoliberals, like the English liberals of the eighteenth century, tend to see as reasonable activities that are seen as deviant by those who embrace the older order.]
