Chapter Chapter 3 in Empty Innovation, 2023, pp 29-45 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Current society’s obsession with innovation is tightly connected with the reorientation of politics and public life to economic concerns, and the rise of an enterprise culture that reshapes individuals as economic subjects. These changes have been ongoing since the 1960s and 1970s, and include the elevation of economic priorities to a prime role in policymaking, and a proliferation of the view of the market as the superior form of human organization and human interaction. The chapter chronicles and analyzes this development, with the help of social theory of modernity and late modernity, and organizational sociological conceptualizations of economization and managerialism.
