An interesting discussion between Paul Mason, Dr Faiza Shaheen, Anthony Barnett, Dr Johnna Montgomerie and Laurie Macfarlane about whether radical social democracy offers a way out of the crisis of neoliberalism, and what this means for economic policy over the next decade.
The debate is part of a new series by Paul Mason exploring what radical social democracy means during the next decade. Paul’s first essay in the series can be read here.
Personally I was most interested in the contributions from Anthony Barnett and Dr Johnna Montgomerie
