If people are responsible for their individual successes, is the same true of their failures? This book brings together a variety of disciplinary approaches to explore how people fail in the United States and the West at large, whether economically, politically, socially, culturally, or physically. How do we understand individual failure, especially in the context of the zero-sum game of international capitalism? And what new spaces of resistance, or even pleasure, might failure open up for people and society?"--Amazon website. 650 0 $a Social values $z United States $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Losers $z United States $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Failure (Psychology) $z United States $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Capitalism $x Social aspects $z United States $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) $z United States $v Congresses. 700 1 $a Motyl, Katharina, $e contributor. $e contributor. 700 1 $a Schober, Regina, $e contributor. $e contributor. 776 0 $z 9783593437163 (online) 776 0 $w (GyWOH)har175021875 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180802013627.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D0957B187E8911E893E09E1097128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
