本文基于2016年12月在墨尔本举行的澳大利亚社会学协会（TASA）会议上的一篇演讲的编辑文本，总结了对“经济理性主义”和新自由主义的批评，这些批评来自20世纪90年代初至今澳大利亚的“经济理性主义辩论”。经济理性主义颠覆了澳大利亚历史上的国家建设遗产。自由市场的新自由主义理论占据了堪培拉的中央决策机构，并从根本上削弱了国家在大多数公共政策领域的协调作用。经济“改革”主要被视为一项由国际和国内公司利益集团领导的政治项目，旨在改变澳大利亚的制度。新自由主义正统继续扭曲政策过程，因为它已经成为政策制定和政府过程中不可或缺的功能，尽管它在智力上的合法性正在下降。
This article, based on an edited transcript of a speech at The Australian Sociological Association (TASA) conference in Melbourne in December 2016, summarises the criticisms of ‘economic rationalism’, cum neoliberalism, that emerged from the ‘economic rationalism debate’ in Australia of the early 1990s to the present. Economic rationalism reversed Australia’s historic nation-building legacy. Free market neoliberal doctrines have captured the central Canberra policy-making apparatus and radically reduced the coordinating role of the state in most areas of public policy. Economic ‘reform’ is seen primarily as a political project led by international and domestic corporate interest groupings and aimed at the transformation of Australia’s institutions. The neoliberal orthodoxy continues to distort the policy process as it has become functionally indispensable for the process of policy making and government, despite its failing intellectual legitimacy.
