The Age of Crisis: Neoliberalism, the Collapse of Democracy, and the Pandemic

The book argues that the Covid-19 pandemic emerges out of this context of deep inequalities and crises in the economy and in politics, and it is likely to reinforce the exclusionary tendencies of neoliberalism, with detrimental implications both for economic prosperity and for democracy. In turn, the pandemic has revealed the limitations of neoliberalism like never before, with implications for the legitimacy of capitalism itself, and opening unprecedented spaces for the left.

This book will be of interest to academics in economics, international relations, political science, political economy, sociology and development studies.
