The post-capitalist interregnum: The old system is dying, but a new social order cannot yet be born

摘要

A ‘post-capitalist interregnum’ is dawning, argues Wolfgang Streeck – a prolonged period of social entropy, radical uncertainty and indeterminacy, in which society is essentially ungovernable and no new world order waits in the wings. Tracing the four-stage crisis sequence of neoliberal capitalism up to today's disintegrating state system, he finds it exemplified in borderless Europe – and specifically in Britain's fateful referenda.
