For anyone seeking to rethink political economy for the 2020s, including the rules governing global capitalism, Escaping Dystopia provides a valuable roadmap. ' Simon Lee, University of Hull Clearly identifies the challenges facing us, and what we can do about them. It should be required reading for everyone who wants to advance change. Randall Germain, Carleton University This must-read book provides a masterful overview of multiple overlapping crises - economic, environmental, health, migration, conflict and security, inequality - which are relevant as stand-alone systemic issues requiring targeted responses, but also, crucially, as connected crises requiring radical systems change. It details a route to overcoming our dystopian future by forging alternatives that redesign liberal democratic institutions on the foundations of popular sovereignty, in order to privilege social and collective power over the public sphere. Johnna Montgomerie, King's College London Stephen McBride compellingly argues that a radical new deal for ordinary people is necessary but also possible. More public domain and genuine democracy is indeed our only bulwark against dystopia. Tom McDonnell, Nevin Economic Research Institute Offers a trenchant critique of global capitalism and its neoliberal institutions. A must-read for anyone wanting to escape current dystopian conditions. Susanne Soederberg, Professor of Global Political Economy, Queen's University Canada

"""Needs to be read and debated by anyone interested in how to move beyond neoliberal dystopia."" Broadbent Institute"
