By the twenty-first century, these socialist inspired movements have largely disappeared, their ideologies have been disavowed, and their institutions dismantled and replaced by global neoliberal capitalism.  This book explores the social, political and economic forces driving these movements in Western Europe and in the USSR, explaining their initial triumphs and how they eventually faltered under the influence of global neoliberalism. David Lane examines the nature and appeal of neoliberal capitalism and analyses current social and political proposals for its reform or replacement, including statist forms of capitalism; social-democratic and ecological globalization reforms; self-sustaining autonomous communities; and globalised forms of social-democracy or socialism.  Outlining his own proposal to replace global neoliberal capitalism with political systems based on a combination of market socialism and state planning, Lane provides important insights for ways forward, and a challenge for parties seeking political and economic alternatives.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303411003765,"sku":"9781529220902","price":95.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781529220902_09211e34-968a-4547-92f6-1e862f32635f.jpg?v=1786021660"},{"product_id":"9781529220919","title":"Global Neoliberal Capitalism and the Alternatives – From Social Democracy to State Capitalisms","description":"The twentieth century was an era of socialist revolutionary transformations and significant social-democratic reforms.

Bombs on San Lorenzo, \u003cem\u003ela dolce vita\u003c\/em\u003e on Via Veneto. Baroque fountains, umbrella pines. Urban planning, unregulated house-building. After half a century living in Rome, David Lane turns his eye on events and streetscapes in the Eternal City over the past 100 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eScenes from a Roman Century\u003c\/em\u003e begins with the 1924 murder of Giacomo Matteotti—the beginning of the end for interwar democracy—and ends with the organised crime and political violence of our own era. It sketches Rome’s growth under Mussolini’s dictatorship, and its fortunes during the Second World War; the economic miracle of the post-war decades; and Rome’s latest transformations through the turn of the millennium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLane sends readers meandering down the alleys, out towards the suburbs and to stand before the monumental architecture, capturing cultural and political moments from Rome’s past and present. He explores fascism’s material legacy across the city, terrorism and political extremism on the right and left, and the struggle to manage economic growth’s burdens—ugly urban sprawl, and the crush of mass tourism in the historic centre. As pilgrims descend for the 2025 jubilee declared by Pope Francis, what is next for this ever-changing city of history?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307132924277,"sku":"9781805262930","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781805262930_53d2f4e6-5dd4-4e78-899f-2d6b13f7682a.jpg?v=1786028252"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-david-lane.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
