Graeme Garrard is a reader in politics at Cardiff University. He is the author of Rousseau’s Counter-Enlightenment and Counter-Enlightenments, and coauthor of How to Think Politically.
“Graeme Garrard…assembles the moral, economic and political reasons
why the world of the privatised and outsourced state is over…The
title of this book comes as a timely reminder that The Return of
the State is here already.”—Polly Toynbee, The Guardian
“A masterpiece of analysis—systematically dismantling our current
meaningless antiquated political vocabulary, and the fantasy that
charities and civil society will bring us salvation. Garrard’s
advocacy for the public interest state is convincing and
compelling. What else might work for (or appeal to) the next
generation?”—Danny Dorling, author of Slowdown
“As a global pandemic continues to expose the deep problems with
the modern state’s subordination to market forces, Graeme Garrard’s
book offers us both an engaging history of how the social
democratic welfare state came about and a timely case for the
necessity of restraining private power.”—Luke Savage, Jacobin
magazine
