«Comment sortir du libéralisme?» is Alain Touraine's political philosophy essay, published by Fayard in paperback (164 pages, in French).
Touraine criticises three responses to social emptiness: submission to the market, the denunciation of the far left, and the conservative defence of institutions. He proposes recognising new social actors who assert their cultural rights, and a politics of the possible that accepts others' identities and projects as equal and different.
Originally published in France in 1999; the work is classified in the Philosophy category.
For essay readers interested in socio-political thought and the debate on liberalism and social movements.
