Other books tell us what to think about China. This book shows us how to think with and through China. A stirring fusion of social analysis and Sinofuturism, David Tyfields Liberalism 2.0 and the Rise of China lays out the logics of innovation through which the global system is being reinvented as we speak.

Nigel Clark, Chair of Social Sustainability, Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University, UK

Tyfield offers us a fascinating crystal ball into the future playing out of current crises of neoliberal global capitalism informed by his deep understanding of the dynamics of complex power/knowledge systems and the concept of innovationas- politics. He combines this astute theoretical vision of the contradictions and monstrosities of post-human technological change with an eye-opening empirical study of Chinas dynamic systems innovation, epitomized by turbulent struggles over transitions in electric auto-mobility and the disruptive emergence of mobility-as-a-service. You could not find a better starting place for insights into the future of urbanization in megacities, the failure of Googliberal transformations of the global economy, and the tug-of-war of liberty-security logics that will shape the 21st century global economy.

Mimi Sheller, Professor of Sociology and Director of the Center for Mobilities Research and Policy, Drexel University, USA

A superb analysis of Chinas innovation system and the struggle for new mobility. This title is essential to understand the social shaping of technology and the fragmented but dynamic politics of innovation in China.

Boy Lthje, Visiting Professor School of Government, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China

Deeply questioning the global risks we face, Tyfield brilliantly shows the intrinsic limits built into the neoliberal model of innovation, epitomized by Silicon Valley, and reveals why and how new sources of power-knowledge system innovations are emerging in China. Anyone looking for a new technological and economic vision of ecological civilization should read this title.

Liberalism 2.0 and the Rise of China

Innovation is crucial in this period of historic, global turbulence amidst seismic environmental, technological and (geo)political change. But what is innovation?

In Liberalism 2.0 and the Rise of China, Tyfield challenges the typical depiction of innovation as new technologies which solve specific problems. Innovation is presented as something much more complicated a thoroughly social, cultural and political process with profound implications for the arrangement of power in society, and hence also a lens on emerging futures and how we can shape them. Indeed, exploring evidence from the key arena of low-carbon urban mobility innovation in the pivotal location of a rising China, this enlightening book describes the global systemic crisis of a neoliberal world order, manifest in Four Great Challenges, and the embryonic emergence of an alternative global power regime: a liberalism 2.0.

Forecasting a digitally-based and complexity-adept revitalization of the classical liberalism of the nineteenth century, as well as new Dickensian inequalities and injustices that are reminiscent of the Victorian age, this title will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as postdoctoral researchers, interested in fields such as Political Economy, contemporary China, Science and Technology, Sustainable Transitions and Mobilities.

David Tyfield is a Reader at the Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University, a Director of the Joint Institute for the Environment, Guangzhou and Co-Director of the Centre for Mobilities Research.
