{"product_id":"adrian-pabst-postliberal-politics-9781509546817","title":"Postliberal Politics","description":"Hyper-capitalism and extreme identity politics are driving us to distraction. Both destroy the basis of a common life shared across ages and classes. The COVID-19 crisis could accelerate these tendencies further, or it could herald something more hopeful: a post-liberal moment.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAdrian Pabst argues that now is the time for an alternative - postliberalism - that is centred around trust, dignity, and human relationships. Instead of reverting to the destabilising inhumanity of 'just-in-time' free-market globalisation, we could build a politics upon the sense of localism and community spirit, the valuing of family, place and belonging, which was a real theme of lockdown. We are not obliged to put up with the restoration of a broken status quo that erodes trust, undermines institutions and trashes our precious natural environment. We could build a pluralist democracy, decentralise the state, and promote embedded, mutualist markets.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis bold book shows that only a politics which fuses economic justice with social solidarity and ecological balance can overcome our deep divisions and save us from authoritarian backlash.","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53647734866262,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781509546817_1.jpg?v=1779877164","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/adrian-pabst-postliberal-politics-9781509546817","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
