Inequality and the Labyrinths of Democracy by Goran Therborn
A global panorama of liberal democracies from a renowned social theorist.
At a time when historians and economists tend to retire behind the barricades of their increasingly specialized professions, answering the big comparative questions about the pathways into and out of modernity, the global processes of inequality and the forces of possible change have been largely left to the sociologistsIn my view, Göran Therborn, has made more essential contributions in these fields than anyone else, by a combination of analytical lucidity, common sense and an extraordinary command of international comparative data. -- Eric Hobsbawm, author of The Age of Extremes
A tour de force. Therborn explores the complex relationship between capitalism and democracy with great originality and insight -- Colin Crouch, author of Post-Democracy After the Crises
How much inequality can democracy withstand before it collapses? Göran Therborn addresses this fundamental question and gives us cause to hope for a more egalitarian future -- Donatella della Porta, author of Where Did the Revolution Go?
One of the world's leading analysts. Therborn has given us valuable intellectual tools with which to work. -- Chris Maisano * Jacobin *
