Managerialism - an infectious and toxic ideology

Friday, 28 June 2019 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Managerialism refers to the spread and legitimacy of a certain approach to management that has taken over all aspects of our lives without any real critique. Disguised as something technical, it is really an ideology and a practice of power, in which the whole world is treated as a type of factory.
