It involves a participatory political democracy as well as a participatory economic democracy. Crucially, it deconstructs the concept of ‘the market’ into the components of market exchange and market forces. The model retains market exchange at the level of the enterprise. However it substitutes for market forces a process of negotiated coordination at the industry and sectoral level, when dealing with changes in capacity through either investment or disinvestment.

All hitherto centrally-planned command economies are now seeking to introduce a greater role for markets.

This has left contemporary British society in a troubled and dysfunctional state, without the cohesion or confidence needed if we are to escape from recession, combat climate change and restore faith in government. The authors put forward a theoretical framework for understanding contemporary politics; and they consider what is to be done to revitalise the British left, challenge neoliberal hegemony, and develop a political project aimed at creating a greener, fairer, happier, more democratic and less divided Britain.
