Who's afraid of neoliberalism?

Na de val van de Muur
According to sociologist Dr Stephanie L. Mudge, traditional leftist parties turned off voters by embracing neoliberalism. How will they recover?

Privatisation, financialisation and the dismantling of the welfare state: the rise of neoliberalism in the 90s left some big losers in its wake. According to sociologist Dr Stephanie L. Mudge (UC Davis) leftist political parties are to blame. While embracing the principles of the free market, they turned their backs on traditional lower-income supporters. How did this transformation happen? Can the Left reinvent itself once again?

Co-organised by the Utrecht Young Academy and SIB-Utrecht.
