As disillusion sets in with the free market right- the legacy of
Thatcher, Reagan and Geoffrey Sachs-Hiliary Wainwright retrieves
and develops what was best in the thinking and practice of the new
left.
Challenged by the appeal of neo-liberalism to young organizers
in the civic movements of Central Europe, she tackles Hayek's
critique of the all-knowing state, and his regonition of 'practical
knowledge' that no state or party can secind guess.
Drawing an alternative view of knowledge from the practice of
social movements (from the 1968 student revolt, through militant
shop stewards organizations and the women's movement, to green
activism of the 1980's) as well as from new philosophical currents,
Wainwright counters Hayek's individualism and denial of the
legitimacy of the collective action, with a conception of knowledge
as fundamentally "social."On this foundation she establishes a new
understanding of transformative political agengy as well as
self-consciously experimental and involving a combination of
representative and participatory forms of democracy. "Arguments for
a new Left" is sure to provokr wide discussion.
