{"product_id":"9780750704854","title":"Individualism And Community","description":"Examining, in the widest sense, the changes in political philosophy that have occurred in Western capitalist states since the early 1980s, this book focuses on the introduction of  neo-liberal principles in the combined area of social and education policy.;New Zealand presents a paradigm example of the neo-liberal shift in political philosophy. From constituting the \"social laboratory\" of the Western world in the 1930s in terms of social welfare provision, New Zealand has become the neo-liberal \"experiment\" of the fully \"marketised\" society in the 1990s. Against the theoretical background of educational theory and practice, this book examines neo-liberalism and its critiques as responses to the so-called crisis  of the welfare state and argues for a reformulated critical  social policy in the postmodern condition. The conclusions about social policy drawn by the authors can be generalized to similar situations in other Western capitalist countries.","brand":"Michael Peters, James Marshall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45819211841854,"sku":"9780750704854","price":11129.13,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780750704854_c4404447-ff86-467a-9143-d12d48ea144c.jpg?v=1707318832","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780750704854","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
