No Brasil, como em todo o mundo, procura-se uma alternativa progressista e prática ao pensamento único e ao caminho único. Sobram críticas. Faltam propostas. Em A Segunda via - presente e futuro do Brasil, o autor mostra que essa alternativa existe e que está ao nosso alcance. Nos textos deste livro, o leitor encontrará um entendimento das realidades, das idéias e dos sentimentos que continuam a nos acorrentar.

Volume 1 of Politics, a work in constructive social theory. False necessity is the central work in the three-volume series Politics. It presents both a way of explaining society and a program for changing it. The explanation develops a radical alternative to Marxism, showing how we can account for established social arrangements without denying their contingency or our freedom. The program offers a progressive alternative to the now-dominant ideological conceptions of neoliberalism and social democracy: a set of institutional innovations that would democratize markets, deepen democracy and empower individuals.

This new edition of False Necessity marks the beginning of Verso’s reissuing of Roberto Mangabeira Unger’s major works in political and social thought, first published together as Politics. Unger’s ideas have helped to inspire progressives across the world who look for alternatives to the ruling political and economic orthodoxy. Here he develops a radical explanation for society that is different from both Marxism and neoliberalism, and offers a program for change. His new and comprehensive introduction explores the limits to our understanding of society and politics and reconsiders the proposals in the book as examples of many untried intellectual and political possibilities.
