Summary: The 58th volume of the 'Socialist Register' takes up the challenge of exploring how the new polarizations relate to the contradictions that underline them and how far ' centrist' politics can continue to contain them. Original essays examine the multiplication of antagonistic national , racial generational, and other identities in the context of growing economic inequality, democratic decline, and the shifting parameters of great power rivalry. Where, how, and by what means can the left move forward?-- Book cover
