This book offers a unique blend of moral imagination and social-political analysis to overcome the defects COVID-19 has exposed in our political-economic order.
It shows how hegemony and complexity prevent contemporary societies from imagining and taking seriously, better practices and institutions and presents feasible and pragmatic solutions for a sustainable and richly democratic society.
