The political left believed the crisis of neoliberalism would play
into its hands. The opposite has proved to be the case. No new
variety of capitalism has emerged to fill the void and left-ofcentre
parties have lost 19 European elections to conservative
and centre-right opponents since the fall of Lehman Brothers in
2008.
Today, over 4 years after the onset of the crisis, voters
are beginning to worry about the ‘strange non-death of
neoliberalism’ (Colin Crouch) and the implications of widespread
austerity programmes across Europe. But will this eventually
translate into increased support for a social democratic
alternative?
This panel discussion brings together 4 distinguished political
figures that had a stake in the modernisation strategies of
the mid-1990s to reflect on the on-going renewal of social
democracy and delivering a credible progressive economy today.
