Porosity between Politics and the Economy delves into the intricate connections between politics and the economy in groundbreaking ways. Driven by a sense of urgency stemming from the failure of modern capitalism to deliver on its promises and the devastating impacts of the environmental crisis, this book offers a fresh perspective on the current crisis of western capitalism and democracy. Egidius Berns, in his exploration of the porous nature of the relations between politics and the economy, identifies several conceptual fault lines that constitute the weaknesses of post-industrial capitalist societies. Through meticulous mapping of these fault lines, Berns provides a novel understanding of the crisis and offers a potential path toward reform.

The book proposes analyzing the web of conceptual connections that link the economy and politics, thereby illuminating the potential configurations between them. It proposes a way forward by embracing an ethics of restraint and combativeness, finding a path into the future that balances both caution and determination.

Porosity between Politics and the Economy is a thought-provoking and indispensable contribution to the ongoing debate about the relationship between these two critical spheres. By offering a comprehensive analysis and proposing innovative solutions, this book provides valuable insights for policymakers, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of contemporary society.
