Social regulation in times of pandemic shows the importance of liberal political cultures in the definition and implementation of virus containment policies, highlighting the influence of the Anglo-Saxon liberal tradition in the English-speaking world and of the ordoliberal regulatory approach in continental Europe (Foucault 2007; 2005). Recent public policies have thus moved in the direction of a technocratic regulation of individual freedoms (Antonelli 2020) that preserves market productivity often at the expense of health security (Caselli 2020). The pandemic itself has revealed the structural limitations of the neoliberal policies, showing what the priorities are for a radical innovation in economic regulation.

Abstract
Social regulation in times of pandemic shows the importance of liberal political cultures in the definition and implementation of virus containment policies, highlighting the influence of the Anglo-Saxon liberal tradition in the English-speaking world and of the ordoliberal regulatory approach in continental Europe (Foucault 2007; 2005). Recent public policies have thus moved in the direction of a technocratic regulation of individual freedoms (Antonelli 2020) that preserves market productivity often at the expense of health security (Caselli 2020). The pandemic itself has revealed the structural limitations of the neoliberal policies, showing what the priorities are for a radical innovation in economic regulation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
