Neoliberalism as social necrophilia

Panayota Gounari

pp. 187-201

In this paper, I am drawing on Erich Fromm's work in order to rethink and explain the current economic, political, and humanitarian crisis in Greece and cast some light on the discussion of "what is to be done." More specifically, I am discussing the ongoing neoliberal experiment in Greece as a case of 'social necrophilia" drawing on Fromm's work on "human destructiveness."
