Understanding the main political projects of our times, and their
plans to expand or shrink the law, is the first step towards
achieving greater equality and averting climate disaster. Since
2016, Britain has been ruled by populists, who promise to expand
democracy and shrink the law by taking back power from the European
Union. Yet what these populists have actually done in power is
institute a vast increase in new laws, made by ministers and not
Parliament, regulating every aspect of our lives. This move of
promising less law while actually expanding it, has been
characteristic of our lives for forty years, ever since the
neoliberal counter-revolution. Every year, new criminal offences
are created; new regulations are introduced. Renton's book dares us
to imagine a world in which workers are winning, and ecocide
treated with the urgency that it deserves. These changes can only
come about, he argues, if the movements of the oppressed choose to
disengage from the law.
