Indeks : p.295 - 303 p.261 - 293 This book shows how the privileging of genetic explanations about individual risks, over environmental and socioeconomic factors, reflects both a metaphysical and a political complicity between 'geneticisation' and neoliberalism. The 'new human genetics' does not transform what it is to be human as much as shift the place we look at when we try to characterise commonalities and variations among the human species. The 'genetic revolution' is above all a perceptual revolution, and in the first part of this book explores the social , politic and economic conditions and consequences of this new 'perceptual regime. In the second part of this book she purpuses her analysis through a consideration of the impact of 'geneticisation' on political support of the welfare state, and on the opearation of private health and life insurance.
