Article Description

The neoliberal reality of the past 40 years has caused changes in the workplace, restricting people’s freedom and compromising their well-being, often not allowing them to develop their human abilities in the way they choose to. This paper focuses on a neglected aspect of neoliberalism that contributes to this problem: the orientation of the core values of neoliberalism. I contend that the value system of neoliberalism is structured on what can be characterized as ‘male’ values, and this leads to a fragmentation of the labour experience, altering the lived experience of work for the vast majority of people. I argue that to reverse this state of affairs, a fundamental shift in our values is required that goes beyond just implementing policies and changing wage relations. Some important insights for this shift can be found in the capabilities approach and the ethics of care.
