In this text, the author deals with the power relationships between employers, workers and their organizations in capitalist societies. Starting from a critique of both the neo-classical and the classical/Marxist traditions of political economy, a three dimensional analysis of social power is developed which stresses the processes of cultural formation. This framework is used to investigate the patterns of dominance and subordination determined by the capitalist structure, gender division and occupational hierarchy. The egalitarian strategy is outlined for transforming the distribution of work, roles and resources by guaranteeing to every individual an unconditional basic income. The book should be of interest to students and teachers of all social science disciplines.

The central thesis of Feelbad Britain is that after the decades of neoliberalism the institutions and social relations on which solidarity, trust and citizenship depend have been undermined. This has left contemporary British society in a troubled and dysfunctional state, without the cohesion or confidence needed if we are to escape from recession, combat climate change and restore faith in government. The authors put forward a theoretical framework for understanding contemporary politics; and they consider what is to be done to revitalise the British left, challenge neoliberal hegemony, and develop a political project aimed at creating a greener, fairer, happier, more democratic and less divided Britain.
