Escaping Dystopia : Rebuilding a Public Domain

Multiple crises have led many to conclude that the world of neoliberal global capitalism is broken. The present and future economic and political systems look increasingly precarious if not outright dystopian. Stephen McBride calls for radical solutions to these crises that could lead to a more rational and sustainable future, while critiquing others which would further curtail democracy and increase inequalities associated with neoliberal globalism. Demonstrating how mainstream ideas, powerful interests and political institutions face major challenges but block progressive alternatives in an attempt to salvage neoliberalism, he argues that for radical transformation to succeed, major institutional changes are necessary.
