A manifesto that engages a vital question: where should the Left go from here?
Confronting the major debates in the world today—about national alternatives and alternative globalizations—Unger shows that there is a set of initiatives that we can begin to develop with the materials at hand. Fully updated with a new preface, The Left Alternative equips the Left with the ideas that it needs to overthrow the dictatorship of no alternatives.

A restless visionary.
A philosophical mind out of the Third World turning tables, to become a synoptist and seer of the First.
Brazil’s answer to John Stuart Mill ... a political philosopher extraordinaire.
This book has influenced how I think and what I do. It sets out the principles for a future Left and crucially challenges us to think not just about how we spend revenues but how we might create them.
