Description
Late Soviet Britain: Why Materialist Utopias Fail This book explores how the United Kingdom's transformation from a strong democracy to instability can be attributed to its state's weakening institutions. Abby Innes examines the crisis of democracy in rich countries and argues that the 'governing science' behind Leninist and neoliberal revolutions shares common flaws. Innes reveals how Britain's radical economic liberalisation led to the breakdown of its governing institutions, shedding light on the kinship between these systems' closed-system forms of economic reasoning and government strategies. By understanding this connection, readers can gain insight into the causes of state failure in an open-system reality. By analysing the similarities between Leninist and neoliberal revolutions, Innes provides a fresh perspective on the crisis of democracy in rich countries.
