A missed opportunity? Social democracy and the neo-statist moment
Paolo Gerbaudo, Steven Klein pages 11-26
Abstract
The 2008 financial crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic and the climate crisis are all pushing western states into greater intervention in the economy and society. This neo-statist moment offers an opportunity for social-democratic parties, one that Labour cannot allow to slip through its fingers. The party must lead the debate about how the state, and democratic control, can be used to tackle systemic crises.
