{"product_id":"post-liberal-moment","title":"Post Liberal Moment","description":"\u003cp\u003eHyper-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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdrian 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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.​\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57315398025598,"sku":"NW9781509546817","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781509546817.jpg?v=1778715917","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/post-liberal-moment","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
