Description: Drawing on detailed archival research on the parallel histories of human rights and neoliberalism Jessica Whyte uncovers the place of human rights in neoliberal attempts to develop a moral framework for a market society. In the wake of the Second World War neoliberals saw demands for new rights to social welfare and self - determination as threats to "civilisation". Yet rather than rejecting rights they developed a distinctive account of human rights as tools to depoliticise civil society protect private investments and shape liberal subjects.
