'This is a stirring vision of a new European prosperity! With sparkling prose and steely precision, the author dissects the waning capacities of the neoliberal mindset and the dangers of tribal authoritarianism. More: she reveals neglected pathways in law, policy, and state leadership for asserting a new democratic imaginary. This book is whip-smart, incisive, and hopeful.'
