‘Invaluable and timely research exposing the global drift of authoritarian politics of austerity, greed and hate by re-engaging with the social justice values of fairness, equality and inclusion to inform centrist and alternative left-of-centre strategies. The globally-sourced case studies analyse the continuing crises of economic neoliberalism, embedded racism and entrenched poverty which have been exacerbated by Covid-19 and climate change. The reader is left to consider how the challenge facing progressive civil society is moving beyond the politics of disparate social movements towards combined action directed at public policy respecting a common humanity.’
