The Credit Crunch of 2008 has exposed the fallacies of
neoliberalism and its thesis of the self-regulating market, which
has been ascendant in both economic theory and policy over the last
30 years. In moving beyond neoliberalism, social democratic
arguments are once again coming to the fore; however, in the
context of the 21st century, they will need to be theorized in
relation to new global concerns. This book critically revisits the
core theses of liberalism and neoliberalism that have provided
philosophical support to free market economics - as enunciated in
the writings of liberal political philosophers such as Friedrich
von Hayek, Karl Popper and Isaiah Berlin - and seeks to expose the
deficiencies of their beliefs that became hegemonic from the 1970s
until the first decades of the present century. In moving beyond
the formulas and mantras of liberalism, the book seeks to
re-theorize social democracy and articulate a new vision of the
political arrangements needed for the 21st century by reconsidering
issues such as liberty, autonomy, social dependence and
multiculturalism.
