Transformative Realism

En savoir plus sur le livre

Those seeking to change political direction often encounter resistance and entrenched thinking. Attempts to resolve crises frequently become mired in competing interests. To overcome the climate, financial, inequality, and democracy crises, strategic shifts are essential. Unfortunately, the progressive left often loses sight of the realities of societal power dynamics in its solutions. Modern society is fracturing into competing factions that struggle to agree on common goals. To politically enforce the necessary change, alliances between diverse life worlds are crucial. Transformative realism is a method of perceiving things as they are in order to change them. Marc Saxer outlines where and how broad societal alliances can form around issues such as climate protection, Europe, market and state relations, the future of work, and social cohesion, to collectively drive change forward.
