The program offers a progressive alternative to the now-dominant ideological conceptions of neoliberalism and social democracy: a set of institutional innovations that would democratize markets, deepen democracy and empower individuals.“[Unger] does not make moves in any game we know how to play ... [His] book may someday make possible a new national romance ... [It] will help the literate ... citizens of some country to see vistas where before they saw only dangers—see a hitherto undreamt-of national future ...”—Richard Rorty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A philosophical mind out of the Third World turning the tables, to become synoptist and seer of the First.”—Perry Anderson\u003cb\u003eRoberto Mangabeira Unger\u003c\/b\u003e is one of the leading social and political thinkers in the world today.
