“…In rare cases, this may have been a deliberate rhetorical strategy on the part of politically experienced campaigners, 16 but for the most part, it was born of the distrust these women felt for the political sphere: where it was distorting and corrupting, they held their actions to be autonomous expressions of their authentic selves. 17 None of this is populist. It does not draw on tropes of religion, war, or conspiracy, or see these as more appealing modes of conflict resolution.…”

Scholars of populism have suggested that it might best be described as ‘unpolitical’, rather than apolitical or anti‐political. This term captures the populist claim to stand morally above the sphere of politics (which it deems inherently corrupting), while being simultaneously drawn to engage in it. But such ambivalence towards politics is not limited to populist actors; indeed, ‘unpolitics’ might be considered intrinsic to British political culture. Most obviously, Conservatives historically portrayed themselves as unsullied by ideology, above party competition, and deriving their values from embodied experience rather than political reasoning. But, while traditional Conservative unpolitics emphasised hierarchy, new anti‐deferential forms of unpolitics emerged in the postwar period. These were based on claims to be ‘ordinary’, which was defined in opposition to the ‘political’ in ways that made the latter seem necessarily illegitimate. Focussing on unpolitics shows that populism grew out of mainstream British political culture, as well as in opposition to it.

Presenting an analysis of economic, ecological, social, cultural, and political developments of contemporary capitalism, this volume, containing twenty contributions, draws on the work of Karl Polanyi. Section One starts with a contextualization of Polanyi's theoretical and methodological approach, followed by reconstructions and reformulations of Polanyi's most significant concepts concerning current developments of capitalism. Section Two applies Polanyian concepts to a critique of current global capitalism and the emerging forms of crisis management and their effects on democracy. The articles in Section Three focus on the problems and tensions of contemporary capitalism that result from the increasingly global contradictions and the crisis that has emerged as a result of ever-expanding marketization and commodification.
