States of Solidarity: How to Build a Society

The Sydney Centre for Healthy Societies invites you to attend a book launch for Professor Barbara Prainsack, visiting from the University of Vienna.

In her 2026 book, States of Solidarity: How to Build a Society, Barbara Prainsack shows why solidarity—people supporting one another as equals—is essential for tackling today’s biggest challenges, from climate change to growing inequality to the rise of AI. While we often talk about justice and fairness, we’ve forgotten how much we depend on everyday connections and mutual trust. Barbara's book explains how rebuilding those ties can strengthen democracy, restore hope, and help societies act together for the common good. It offers real-world examples and a hopeful vision for a future where care and shared responsibility replace division, isolation, and running after short-term profits.
