Late Soviet Britain

Why Materialist Utopias Fail
Book • 2023
Late Soviet Britain explores the unexpected parallels between Soviet socialism and neoliberalism, highlighting how both ideologies rely on closed-system reasoning that neglects empirical reality.

Abby Innes argues that this approach has led to the weakening of Britain's governing institutions and democratic instability.

The book offers a unique perspective on the crisis of liberal democracy by comparing the political economies of these seemingly disparate systems.
