We are living through a period of dramatic political change Brexit,
the election of Trump, the rise of extreme right movements in
Europe and elsewhere, the resurgence of nationalism and xenophobia
and a concerted assault on the liberal values and ideals associated
with cosmopolitanism and globalization. Suddenly we find ourselves
in a world that few would have imagined possible just a few years
ago, a world that seems to many to be a move backwards. How can we
make sense of these dramatic developments and how should we respond
to them? Are we witnessing a worldwide rejection of liberal
democracy and its replacement by some kind of populist
authoritarianism? This timely volume brings together some of the
world's greatest minds to analyse and seek to understand the forces
behind this 'great regression'. Writers from across disciplines and
countries, including Paul Mason, Pankaj Mishra, Slavoj i ek,
Zygmunt Bauman, Arjun Appadurai, Wolfgang Streeck and Eva Illouz,
grapple with our current predicament, framing it in a broader
historical context, discussing possible future trajectories and
considering ways that we might combat this reactionary turn. The
Great Regression is a key intervention that will be of great value
to all those concerned about recent developments and wondering how
best to respond to this unprecedented challenge to the very core of
liberal democracy and internationalism across the world today. For
