The Optimistic Leftist: Why the 21st Century Will Be Better Than You Think by Ruy Teixeira
Requirements: ePUB or AZW3 Reader, 1.4MB
Overview: The words “optimism” and “the left” do not seem to go together very well these days. The dominant view on the left–reinforced by the election of Donald Trump–is as follows: (1) progress in today’s world has largely stopped and in many ways reversed; (2) the left is weak and at the mercy of a rapacious capitalism and a marauding right; and (3) the outlook for the future is bleak, with ordinary citizens suffering even more deprivation and the planet itself sliding inexorably toward catastrophe.
But all these propositions are wrong. It is not the case that progress has stopped. Today, we live in a freer, more democratic, less violent and more prosperous world than we ever have before.
It is not the case that the left is at the mercy of the right. The form of the left is changing but its numbers are strong and growing. It remains a vital force the vital force for reforming capitalism.
