Individualization: Institutionalized Individualism and its Social and Political Consequences (Published in association with Theory, Culture & Society) 1st Edition by Ulrich Beck (PDF)

Description

Individualization argues that we are in the midst of a fundamental change in the nature of society and politics. This change hinges around two processes: globalization and individualization. The book demonstrates that individualization is a structural characteristic of highly differentiated societies, and does not imperil social cohesion, but actually makes it possible. Ulrich Beck and Elisabeth Beck-Gernsheim argue that it is vital to distinguish between the neo-liberal idea of the free-market individual and the concept of individualization. The result is the most complete discussion of individualization currently available, showing how individualization relates to basic social rights and also paid employment; and concluding that in as much as basic rights are internalized and everyone wants to or must be economically active, the spiral of individualization destroys the given foundations of social co-existence.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The purchase was very simple, and they had the available book, the times and delivery of the product was made under the engaged conditions. I recommend this company for their quality and responsibility.

⭐You thought you understood Beck’s Risk Society, as most people do, but without reading this book, you can’t understand it. in part this is because Risk Society has its complement in institutionalized individualism. To understand risk society, you need to understand institutionalized individualism, and with both theoretical concepts, supported by empirical evidence, then you can work on perfecting your questions.In short, this book is a must read for anyone interested in questions of modernity and risk society, its implications and effects. Like most of his recent books, this is a collection of several essays united by a theme, but the theme is perhaps one of the most important ones to think about these days, as informationalism starts to push into new forms of institutionalization.

⭐An interesting book, well written, interesting cover. Would read again.
