Social Democracy in Neoliberal Times

Meer over het boek

The book analyzes the paradox of leftist governments in advanced economies, particularly in Europe and Australia, where their rise has not significantly altered economic policies. It explores the challenges these governments face from neoliberal opposition, examining their attempts to maintain state intervention, welfare programs, and full employment amidst a prevailing backlash. Through this lens, the text highlights both the achievements and shortcomings of leftist leadership in contemporary economic contexts.
