Geoffrey Mulgan is the author of several previous books including Communication and Control (Polity, 1991). He is also Director and founder of DEMOS, an independent political think-tank based in London.

"A stimulating contribution to the current reorientation of democratic socialist thought." (Third Way)"A profoundly interesting book, addressing the crisis of contemporary politics with a depth of insight and a breadth of vision sadly lacking in most of our current `political' writing." (New Times)"Every Tory para-intellectual should read this book to see how a clear and informed mind on the left can still pursue the battle of ideas." (The Times Literary Supplement)"This stimulating collection of essays will further enhance Geoff Mulgan's reputation as a political thinker of impressive range and depth." (Renewal)"Subtle, profound and pioneering." (Times Higher Education Supplement)"Politics in an Antipolitical Age is a worthwhile contribution to the debate over the future of the left, and an attempt to understand the non-politicized 'generation X.' As such it and Geoff Mulgan's arguments need to be carefully considered and discussed." (Political Science)
