Looking back to the role of the state in Plato, Machiavelli,
Hobbes, Hegel, Gramsci and Polanyi, and exploring the discourses,
electoral programs and class blocs of the nationalist right and
socialist left,Paolo Gerbaudo fleshes out the contours of the
different statisms and populisms that inform contemporary politics.
The central issue in dispute is what mission the post-pandemic
state should pursue: whether it should protect native workers from
immigration and the rich against redistributive demands, as
proposed by the right's authoritarian protectionism; or reassert
social security and popular sovereignty against the rapacity of
financial and tech elites, as advocated by the left's social
protectivism. Only by addressing the widespread sense of exposure
and vulnerability may socialists turn the present phase of
involution into an opportunity for social transformation. "}"

style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana;">In these times of
health emergency, economic collapse, populist anger and ecological
threat, societies are forced to turn inward in search of
protection. Neoliberalism, the ideology that presided over decades
of market globalisation, is on trial, while state intervention is
making a spectacular comeback amid lockdowns, mass vaccination
programmes, deficit spending and climate planning. This is the
Great Recoil, the era when the neo-statist endopolitics of national
sovereignty, economic protection and democratic control overrides
the neoliberal exopolitics of free markets, labour flexibility and
business opportunity. Looking back to the role of the state in
