- More about The Work of Politics: Making a Democratic Welfare State
The Work of Politics offers a novel theory that depicts welfare institutions as "worldly mediators" that foster political empowerment and participation within the context of capitalist economic forces. It challenges us to rethink the distribution of power in society and the fundamental concerns of democratic theory, and provides a vital contribution to contemporary thinking about the future of the welfare state.

The Work of Politics presents a groundbreaking exploration of the intricate interplay between democratic social movements and welfare institutions in the pursuit of challenging dominant structures. Building upon the innovative framework developed by Klein, welfare institutions are portrayed as "worldly mediators," acting as catalysts for democratic world-making, empowering individuals and fostering political participation within the framework of capitalist economic dynamics. This thought-provoking book draws upon the profound insights of Weber, Arendt, and Habermas, as well as a range of historical episodes, spanning from the workers' movement in Bismarck's Germany to post-war Swedish feminism. By critically reexamining the distribution of power in society and delving into the core principles of democratic theory, The Work of Politics offers a vital contribution to contemporary debates surrounding the future of the welfare state. Spanning the domains of political theory and intellectual history, this book provides a rich and thought-provoking perspective that is essential for anyone seeking to understand the complex dynamics shaping our social and political landscape.
