There is increasing evidence of widespread disillusion with the major shift to neoliberal economic policies that has taken place across much of the world. In this account of neoliberalism's failings, Colin Crouch recognises some of its positive contributions but also notes conflicts within the neoliberal camp - particularly those between 'market' and 'corporate' forms of the strategy. Finally, he considers to what extent those behind the great experiment are now capable of accepting its reform.

Zygmunt Bauman was a towering intellectual who saw and analysed - right up to his death in early 2017 - the great socio-political changes, often convulsive, in modern western society long before his peers. Here we highlight his prescient insights into what he dubbed 'liquid modernity' with 24 chapters on topics ranging from online loneliness via precarity/poverty/inequality to migration, fear of the 'Other' and the decline of the nation state. Chronicle of Crisis, 2011-16, written by one of the great chroniclers of our times, will be read and re-read for decades and more to come.

With the war in Ukraine, the cost-of-living crisis, the lingering pandemic and the onrushing threat of climate change, a bewildering array of transnational political challenges present themselves. Can social democrats articulate convincing solutions to these challenges, behind which progressives can rally, in Europe and globally? This volume, of interviews and chapters contributed by political thinkers and practitioners, presents a rich repertoire of ideas and proposals which offer some reasons to hope for better times ahead.
