Abstract

In the six years since the 2008 global financial crisis, progressive politics has been struggling to find a new identity. In an over-reaction against the third way experience, it “threw out the baby with the bathwater”: instead of analysing carefully what Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, Wim Kok, Gerhard Schröder and others got wrong, it yearned for a lost era of egalitarian basics without clearly working out what that meant and what its electoral implications would be. It saw the massive failure of markets as an opportunity to bring back the state when in fact rising public debt led to a crisis of the state, which in the public mind loomed larger than the crisis of the market. It struggled to formulate a publicly compelling alternative to austerity. In most countries, it has had to contend with the rise of anti-establishment populism, sometimes of the left, but mostly of the radical right.
