Exchanging Expectations: Finance, Neofascism, and Relationality in Post-Fukushima Japan

Annelise Riles, Jack G. Clarke Professor of Far East Legal Studies and Professor of Anthropology, Cornell University, analyzes "Abenomics"--the financial policy of Japan's far right government--as an example of a new emerging economic and political r?gime. She asks, what comes after neoliberalism, and what challenges does it pose to critique? The paper is co-authored with Hirokazu Miyazaki, Professor of Anthropology, Cornell University. Introduced by Hent de Vries, Russ Family Professor in the Humanities and Philosophy, Johns Hopkins University.
