  • Undoing the Demos: How Market Logic Rewrites Democracy

    Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.

    This episode explores Undoing the Demos by Wendy Brown as a systems-level analysis of neoliberal rationality, democratic erosion, and the transformation of citizens into human capital.

    · hidden system dynamics
    · structural outcomes
