This book is not a contribution to the cultivated liberal horn-rimmed glasses-Montepulciano-center. It is an attack on it. While the political landscape settles into technocratic platitudes and the status quo is sold as having no alternative, this work puts its finger on the sore spot: Who really benefits from "practical constraints"? Who defines what is considered reasonable-and who pays the price for this reasonableness? Thinking progressively on the left does not mean repeating old slogans, but radically questioning the basic assumptions of our present. Especially as a woman. With analytical acuity and deliberately pointed polemics, the book dissects power relations, property dogmas, market faith, and the ideology of supposed neutrality. It asks uncomfortable questions about capital, climate, work, migration, identity, and democracy-and refuses to leave the answers to the same old expert committees. Instead, it develops a way of thinking that does not manage the future, but shapes it. This book is for everyone who has had enough of timid reformism. For everyone who feels that cosmetic corrections are not enough. And for everyone who is ready to take the concept of emancipation seriously again-as a project that means conflict, demands redistribution, and reorganizes power. Those seeking harmony will be annoyed. Those who want change will find ammunition here. Bremen University Press has published over 5,500 academic books since 2005. This book is available in German, English, French, Spanish, and Italian. February 2026
