Both destroy the basis of a common life shared across ages and classes. The COVID-19 crisis could accelerate these tendencies further, or it could herald something more hopeful: a post-liberal moment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdrian Pabst argues that now is the time for an alternative – postliberalism – that is centred around trust, dignity, and human relationships. Instead of reverting to the destabilising inhumanity of 'just-in-time' free-market globalisation, we could build a politics upon the sense of localism and community spirit, the valuing of family, place and belonging, which was a real theme of lockdown. We are not obliged to put up with the restoration of a broken status quo that erodes trust, undermines institutions and trashes our precious natural environment. We could build a pluralist democracy, decentralise the state, and promote embedded, mutualist markets.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis bold book shows that only a politics which fuses economic justice with social solidarity and ecological balance can overcome our deep divisions and save us from authoritarian backlash.​\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 318g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 139 x 214 x 21 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781509546817\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adrian Pabst","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44106127835386,"sku":"9781509546817","price":13.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/8c44ec7b7a7ad7e70e486ebfef0e6a5c.jpg?v=1635738986","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/postliberal-politics-the-coming-era-of-renewal","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
