The Crosland Legacy: The Future of British Social Democracy de Patrick Diamond

The Crosland Legacy: The Future of British Social Democracy

Autor Patrick Diamond
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 iul 2016
In Crosland’s Legacy, noted political writer Patrick Diamond explores the contemporary impact of Anthony Crosland’s writings on the British Labour Party, in particular through his work The Future of Socialism, published nearly sixty years ago. Despite widespread questioning of many of Crosland’s assumptions alongside obvious and important changes in British society and the economy since The Future of Socialism was published, Diamond argues that Crosland continues to serve as a key intellectual reference point for today’s Labour Party. In making the claim that “socialism is about equality,” Crosland set the context for debates that bridge Gaitskell’s Labour Party in the 1950s and the development into New Labour headed by Blair, Brown, and Miliband. This book will examine Crosland’s intellectual legacy as manifested in the debates of today’s Labour Party.

Recenzii

“Crosland was the leading British socialist intellectual of the postwar period. Diamond has strong claims to be his nearest equivalent today, and this book will be read with hunger by all those who feel the left has lost its way.”

“Tony Crosland was a radical revisionist intellectual but Labour through and through. In this important new study, Diamond explores this paradox and the Croslandite legacy for Labour today.”

“A most timely and topical study of a politician who was also one of Labour’s outstanding theoreticians. . . . Vital reading for all interested in Labour’s future.”

“Diamond has written an exceptionally lucid account of the work and legacy of Anthony Crosland, Labour’s outstanding revisionist intellectual. Diamond also demonstrates persuasively the relevance of Crosland’s approach for politics today.”

“Crosland’s revisionist credo continues to be a lodestar for Labour Party ‘modernizers.’ In this pithy and insightful work, Diamond critically explores the reasons for its enduring legacy.”

“Tony Crosland continues to fascinate nearly forty years after his untimely death. This new study is authoritatively written by someone who was a senior party advisor turned academic and deserves to be read seriously by scholars and activists alike.”
