In \u003ci\u003eCivic Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e, Colin Hay and Anthony Payne build on their influential analysis of the crisis of the Anglo-liberal growth model to set out a coherent account of the steps required to build an alternative that is more sustainable socially, economically and environmentally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey argue that it is time to move on from the Anglo-liberal model of capitalism whose failings were so cruelly exposed by the crisis. They outline a new model that will work better in advanced capitalist societies, showing how this might be acheived in Britain today. They call this civic capitalism the governance of the market, by the state, in the name of the people, to deliver collective public goods, equity and social justice. This reverses the long ascendant logic of Anglo-liberalism in which citizens have been made to answer to the perceived logics of the capitalism they have been made to serve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe crisis shows us that we can no longer be driven by the perceived imperatives of the old model and by those who have claimed for far too long and, as it turns out, falsely to be able to discern for us the imperatives of the market. It is now time to ask what capitalism can do for us and not what we can do for capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eContributors vii \u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Civilizing Capitalism 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCivic Capitalism 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eColin Hay and Anthony Payne\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: Engaging Civic Capitalism 53\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Omission of Real Democracy 55\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFred Block\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Next Steps 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eColin Crouch\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn Search of an Alternative 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAndrew Gamble\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e‘If I Were You, I Wouldn’t Start From Here’ 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIan Gough\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePutting the ‘Civic’ More into the Mix 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGavin Kelly with Conor D’Arcy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhy Not Frighten the Horses? 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRuth Levitas\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt’s the Democratic Politics, Stupid! 97\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMick Moran\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRecasting Neoliberal Mindsets 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnn Pettifor\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat Has to be Civilized? 109\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMatthew Watson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III: Building Civic Capitalism 117\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTowards Civic Capitalism in Britain 119\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eColin Hay and Anthony Payne\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 134\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 142\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Economics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Economics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Economics%20%5BKC%5D%22\"\u003eKC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407342072088,"sku":"9780745692067","price":34.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745692067.jpg?v=1784163581","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/civic-capitalism-hardback-9780745692067","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
