In our book, we offer a contribution to critically rethink not only the illiberal wind blowing on contemporary democracies but also the illiberal and undemocratic side of those liberal theories that, equating democratic procedures with the market economy, prefer to defend inequality at the expense of rights. The complexity that we learn from experience is often at risk of being flattened, as observed in empirical research, on the horizon of the present, and at the same time cannot be captured by normative theories that are often blind to the facts (Rosales, 2014).
