“…Despite its hegemonic success, criticism of neoliberalism is widespread. This ranges from work in the 1990s by Bauman (1994) and Beck (1992) through to recent contributions such as Farnsworth and Irving (2018), Davies (2016), Jessop (2015) and Crouch (2011). Particular criticisms focus on neoliberalism as the cause of gross economic inequalities, high levels of poverty, increasing socio-economic insecurity and demise of the public realm.…”

“…Particular criticisms focus on neoliberalism as the cause of gross economic inequalities, high levels of poverty, increasing socio-economic insecurity and demise of the public realm. More generally, Bauman (1994) has described neoliberalism as denying the basic human need for belonging and instead creating uncertainty, loneliness and the future as the site of fear (not hope), with our lives becoming disjointed and inconsequential rather than flourishing and fulfilled. As noted above, Monbiot (2016) describes neoliberalism as being the ideology at the root of all our problems.…”

“…The indirect accountability distances universities and individual staff members from their stakeholders, and it deteriorates the universities' and staff members' responsibility to them. Moreover, when looking inside the organization, a "floating responsibility" may arise [48]. This means that "everyone has procedural accountabilities, but no one has responsibility for wider consequences (moral or instrumental).…”

“…(Bauman, 1990a: 25)The normative content of modernity – and socialism – appears in this period and in the later postmodern writings of the 1990s in the form of a democratic polity and collective self-determination vis-a-vis consumer society – the new central pre-occupation. For example, ‘the chance of counteracting the present pressures towards draining intimate and public life of ethical motives and moral evaluations depends at the same time on more autonomy for individual moral selves and more vigorous sharing of collective responsibilities’ (Bauman, 1994: 43). Individual freedom is necessarily the product of joint cooperation as a political community.…”

“…The attempts in the postmodern works to give precedence to individual freedom and reorient his sociology to the liberal post-Cold War Zeitgeist remained somewhat unconvincing. Persistent critiques of privatization and calls for a ‘new ethics in search of new politics’ and a ‘fully-fledged political community’ were far from a liberal imagination; it represented a continuity with socialism as the critical current of modernity disguised in quasi republican vocabulary (see Bauman, 1976; 1994: 45; 1995: 281–284, 287).…”
