VG. ¶ False necessity is the central work in the three-volume series Politics. It presents both a way of explaining society and a program for changing it.The explanation develops a radical alternative to Marxism, showing how we can account for established social arrangements without denying their contingency or our freedom. The program offers a progressive alternative to the now-dominant ideological conceptions of neoliberalism and social democracy: a set of institutional innovations that would democratize markets, deepen democracy and empower individuals" - Publisher's description.
