The price of belonging is an entrenched social stratification within the political unit itself. This book explores how the desire for political unity generates a collective commitment to certain lived fictions--the citizen-state, the market economy, and so forth--that shape our understanding of political legitimacy and responsibility.

This book documents the historical failure of these promises, elaborating the radical institutional and intellectual changes needed to overcome our lived fictions."--c| Provided by publisher.;
