It is not always obvious how the changes identified necessarily reflect a stronger prejudice toward laissez-faire free market capitalism, and so much of the book seeks to demonstrate the subtle ways in which the changing language indeed carries with it a political message. This analysis is made through exploration of five major areas of focus: \"economics rhetoric\" scholarship and the growing \"behavioral economics\" school of thought; the discourse of government and taxation; the changing meaning of \"competition,\" and \"competitive\"; changing attitudes toward labor; and the celebration of growth relative to the decline in attention to economic justice and social equality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45236719419543,"sku":"9781138791497","price":4565.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138791497.webp?v=1769214156","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-rhetoric-of-the-right-language-change-and-the-spread-of-the-market-9781138791497","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
