In this edition of ‘Brooding,’ columnist Kathryn Jezer-Morton argues that family life isn’t owned by any political party or ideology. It’s the place where radical change can take root.
I have written a lot about how neoliberalism, as the defining secular religion of our age, has turned families into units of competitive advantage seeking, of opportunity hoarding, of malignant self-interest. I’ve said a lot of shady things aboutand how it’s a form of selfishness that puts the short-term easing of our consciences ahead of the long-term improvement of our communities.
But if we want more equality, we have to accept that anxiously hoarding opportunities for our children is not the way to get there. We have to be willing to cede control, to loosen our grip on our sense of entitlement, and to trust that justice means sometimes sacrificing resources for the greater good — even when it comes to our own families.
