Abstract:	The untold story of the role of humanitarian NGOs in building the neoliberal order after empireAfter India gained independence in 1947, Britain reinvented its role in the global economy through nongovernmental aid organizations. Utilizing existing imperial networks and colonial bureaucracy, the nonprofit sector sought an ethical capitalism, one that would equalize relationships between British consumers and Third World producers as the age of empire was ending. The Solidarity Economy examines the role of nonstate actors in the major transformations of the world economy in the postwar era, showing how British NGOs charted a path to neoliberalism in their pursuit of ethical markets.Between the 1950s and 1990s, nonprofits sought to establish an alternative to Keynesianism through their welfare and development programs. Encouraging the fair trade of commodities and goods through microfinance, consumer boycotts, and corporate social responsibility, these programs emphasized decentralization, privatization, and entrepreneurship. Tehila Sasson tells the stories of the activists, economists, politicians, and businessmen who reimagined the marketplace as a workshop for global reform. She reveals how their ideas, though commonly associated with conservative neoliberal policies, were part of a nonprofit-driven endeavor by the liberal left to envision markets as autonomous and humanizing spaces, facilitating ethical relationships beyond the impersonal realm of the state.Drawing on dozens of newly available repositories from nongovernmental, international, national, and business archives, The Solidarity Economy reconstructs the political economy of these markets-from handicrafts and sugar to tea and coffee-shedding critical light on the postimperial origins of neoliberalism
	"Histories of the economy often characterize the post-war era as one of demoralization, in which the rise of monetarism and neoliberalism marked a moral decline in public life. The story Tehila Sasson tells here, by contrast, uncovers the humanitarian, moral, and popular origins of a new form of cultural capitalism, one which promised that commerce could offer ethical progress after empire. Unlike the more common story about the neoliberal and conservative right, it focuses on the role of the British left--and the nonprofit sector in particular--in this transformation. It follows economists, MPs, campaigners, activists, and journalists of the British left, all of whom turned away from state-led development towards a vision of decentralized fair-trade markets. For the key actors in this story, it was the state--not the marketplace--that was morally vacant. Haunted by the specter of imperial political economy, they sought to bypass the state as the primary organizer of economic life."-- Provided by publisher
