Neoliberal Morality In Singapore: How Family Policies Make State And Society
by Teo, Youyenn
About This Book
Substantial field study since 2003 underpins this sociological exploration of how citizens of Singapore are ruled and allow themselves to be ruled. Light is shed onto the texture and contours of the sociological and family face of Singapore - not always with expected politically correct results. The areas explored in detail include: housing and direct family policies and practices by the State; paradoxes of state rule and of the state's priorities in relation to the economy/family/marriage/gender roles/ageing trends; dissent and its limits; family and cultural priorities and pressures; Singapore's neo-morality and forms of neoliberalism and idealism. With methodology notes and schedules; bibliography and index.
