Abstract

In the years following the financial crisis, the left seems to be gaining some ground in influencing the political narrative. Issues such as inequality and calls for stronger regulation of the banking sector have been adopted even by the mainstream among the political and cultural elites. Yet, such influence has not been translated into a political alternative. The hypothesis of the book is presented: namely, that this might have something to do with changes that have taken place in the ideas and values of the left in recent decades, especially a problematization of economic growth and an emphasis on a cultural critique of capitalism, rather than the construction of an economic alternative.
