Care and the Neoliberal Individual

Mary V. Wrenn and William Waller

Journal of Economic Issues, 2017, vol. 51, issue 2, 495-502

Abstract: This article explores two conflicting ethical systems: neoliberalism and institutionalism. Neoliberalism’s foundations support an overarching ethic of individual autonomy and individual responsibility. Institutionalism contrasts this conception with a view of human beings as relational. The ethical foundation of such a view requires a meta-ethic of interpersonal responsibility that supports an ethic of care.
