Unnecessary Suffering: Management, Markets and the Liquidation of Solidarity

Mehr zum Buch

The book critiques the notion of a market-driven utopia, arguing that the dream of a world governed by managers is both unrealistic and potentially disastrous. Maurice Glasman challenges conventional management ideologies from both the New Right and New Left, asserting that managers hinder productivity rather than enhance it. He advocates for a reimagined relationship between democracy and liberalism, proposing that true democracy should operate within the economy while liberal principles should guide the state.
