Those who hoped the collapse of financial markets would usher in
the end of neoliberalism and rehabilitate support for traditional
social democratic policies programmes have been disappointed. It is
not only the irrationality of markets which is the focus of public
discontent, but the inefficiency of states and the inability of
elected governments to humanise and control global market
capitalism.
Despite recent successes, social democratic parties in the EU have
become locked in a cycle of electoral under-performance. The crisis
remedies of the Right appear more simple and direct in their
diagnosis, casting the state as restrictive, wasteful and
inefficient. Abstract theoretical debates on the Left about a
'paradigm shift' in Western capitalism in the aftermath of the
crisis have had little traction.
So, in the aftermath of the 2008 crash prompted by the failure of
US financial services conglomerate, Lehman Brothers, this book
addresses a deceptively simple question: what is to be done? It
makes the case for a new, post-crisis settlement harnessing the
dynamic traditions of social liberalism and social democracy as the
foundation for progressive reforms geared towards alleviating
crisis aftershocks and addressing the deep-seated structural
challenges afflicting western capitalist democracies.
