Roberto Unger on the False Dilemma's Regarding Structural Political Change

His delivery style is stern to say the least and totally humourless. However he does see the new paradigm in a way similar to the pathways we are working on viz public-social partnerships or civil society led social-public partnerships. He says almost nothing about ecology which is a real blind-spot I sense, yet in other ways he appears to be a real fellow traveller.
