From Statism To Pluralism - Democracy, Civil Society And Global Politics (Hardcover)

Modern societies currently lack positive alternative visions of the future. Many writers have claimed that the only option is a return to free-market capitalism, in which success and survival depend on being as competitive as possible whether as a nation, firm or individual. Paul Hirst argues that there are viable alternative futures and widely applicable models that can be used to structure change. Hirst's distinctive approach to political theory reasons from real political problems rather than confining itself to abstract concepts. Presenting an innovative political position, this collection of essays represents an attempt to re-state a practical third way between the discredited ideals of state socialism and laissez-faire capitalism.
