Summary/Abstract: In contemporary context of thinking about society the old concepts (such as Humanism, exploitation, social revolution) are being marginalised or removed, whereas new concepts (Transition, Transfomation, Social exclusion) are being promoted. Both the concept and discourse on justice have been changed. It is no longer social justice that is at the centre of new discourse – but a combination of social justice and market based neoliberal unlimitted acquisition. The article focusses on this proces in the Western Balkans, where we see a rather specific synergy between neoliberal and nationalist semantics, which are interlinked in their acting. The key concepts and discourses of both of these currents serve to normalize the economy based on profit and the economy based on “national blood”.
