Casual [Wiley] The Left Case Brexit Reflections On Current Crisis

Richard Tucks ongoing commentary on the Brexit crisis demolishes this narrative. He argues that by sing Brexit and throwing its lot in with a liberal constitutional order tailormade the interests of global capitalists, the Left has made a major error. It has tied itself into a framework designed to frustrate its own radical policies. Brexit theree actually represents a golden rtunity socialists to implement the kind of economic agenda they have long since advocated. Sadly, however, ma of them have lost faith in the kind of popular revolution that the majoritarian British constitution is peculiarly wellplaced to deliver and have succumbed instead to defeatism and the cultural politics of virtuesignalling. Another approach is, however, still possible.

Combining brilliant contemporary political insights with a profound grasp of the ironies of modern history, this book is essential aone who wants a clearsighted assessment of the momentous underlying issues brought to the surface by Brexit.
