Liberal democracy

from Pomodoro Breaks · host Panigrahi Nirma

This critique argues liberal democracy is essentially a political structure maintaining capital accumulation and private property, exposing the democracy "that never was." The book analyzes the decline of social reforms and rise of neoliberalism, demonstrating pervasive corporate capture of the state. Universal suffrage offers limited political leverage, failing to resolve the core conflict between civil society and capital's relentless pursuit of profit globally.
