About the Book: A New Politics from the Left (Radical Futures)
Millions passionately desire a viable alternative to austerity and
neoliberalism, but they are sceptical of traditional leftist topdown state
solutions.
In this urgent polemic, Hilary Wainwright argues that this requires a new
politics for the left that comes from the bottom up, based on participatory
democracy and the everyday knowledge and creativity of each individual.
Political leadership should be about facilitation and partnership, not expert
domination or paternalistic rule.
Wainwright uses lessons from recent movements and experiments to build a radical
future vision that will be an inspiration for activists and radicals everywhere.
