2. What's Left
A trenchant critique of contemporary liberalism that argues mainstream progressive politics has drifted from collective, material change toward managerialism, identity-focused gestures, and symbolic victories that leave capitalist power intact; tracing historical shifts and institutional failures, it urges rebuilding a more substantive left rooted in organizing, public infrastructure, and class-based politics to confront inequality and restore democratic power.
