![]() | Faith Based: Religious Neoliberalism and the Politics of Welfare in the United States Subjects: Neoliberalism -- United States -- History; Religious right -- United States -- History; Conservatism -- United States -- History; Faith Based explores how the Religious Right has supported neoliberalism in the United States, bringing a particular focus to welfare--an arena where conservative Protestant politics and neoliberal economic ideas come together most clearly. Through case studies of gospel rescue missions, Habitat for Humanity, and religious charities in post-Katrina New Orleans, Jason Hackworth describes both the theory and practice of faith-based welfare, revealing fundamental tensions between the religious and economic wings of the conservative movement. JASON HACKWORTH is an associate professor in the Department of Planning and Geography at the University of Toronto. He is author of The Neoliberal City: Governance, Ideology, and Development in American Urbanism , which was nominated for the Robert Park Book Award. |
