Colin Crouch is Professor Emeritus of the University of Warwick, and the External Scientific member of the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies at Cologne.
"A brilliant short text, among the most penetrating analyses of the
modern condition I have read."
The Guardian
"A powerful plea for a politics of the left in the twenty-first
century. He is no advocate of the Third Way. For him the stark
alternative is liberal democracy or egalitarian democracy, and he
clearly opts for the latter. Those who disagree with his analysis
or his conclusions will have to make their case, and will no doubt
do so. Crouch’s book is sure to give rise to lively debate.’
Ralf Dahrendorf
"Colin Crouch has the great gift of bringing theory down to
accessible earth. Social capital theory is applied to the policies
needed for civil renewal. This thoughtful book is a culmination of
all that we have been expecting-and more-from his Fabian pamphlets
and Political Quarterly articles on the dilemmas of democracy in
troubled times."
Professor Bernard Crick
