| Summary |
Andersson offers a detailed account of the way that social democracy today makes sense of capitalism. In particular, she challenges the idea that social democracy has gone 'neoliberal', arguing that so-called Third Way policies seem to have brought out new aspects of a thoroughgoing social interventionism with roots deep in the history of social democracy. She develops the claim that what distinguishes today's social democracy from the past is the way that it equates cultural and social values with economic values, which in turn places a premium on individuals who are capable of succeeding in the knowledge economy. |
