About This Book
COVID-19 has exposed defects in our current politicalâeconomic order: extreme wealth inequality, an ideology-driven government, a greedy corporate sector, a precarious labour force and a looming climate catastrophe. This accessible book offers a unique blend of moral imagination and socialâpolitical analysis to overcome these defects. It focuses on two characteristics of contemporary societies â hegemony and complexity â that have inhibited our ability to imagine, and take seriously, better practices and institutions. Considering housing, work, governance, finance, climate change and more, this book presents feasible and pragmatic solutions which are informed by a comprehensive vision of a flourishing, sustainable and richly democratic society.
