About this title

Synopsis

transform! 2023 considers the class character of the contemporary nationstate, its measure of relative autonomy

from capital, and the left's strategies totransform it. While neoliberalism has cut back the state's function as a guarantor

of public welfare, it has strengthened its role as an organiser of global marketisation and finance. However, with the

pandemic the crucial necessity of public healthcare services became a burning question for large sections of the

population, and worker-led initiatives to transform production and protect the environment raised the question of the state's possible role in socio-ecological transformation.
