This book provides the first book-length study of the political and
economic ideas of the British left's Alternative Economic Strategy
in the 1970s and early 1980s. Discussing the AES's approaches to
capitalism, the nation state and the working class, it argues that
existing academic accounts have significantly overstated the
radicalism of the strategy. Perhaps more notable, especially in the
light of its stated 'revolutionary' aims, was the extent of its
moderation - its continuities with post-war Labour revisionism, its
marked reluctance to look beyond the market economy, the degree of
its preoccupation with Britain's global-economic status, and its
inability to break with Labourist politics of class co-operation in
the national interest. While the book argues that the AES was the
last 'class politics' socialist initiative in mainstream British
politics, it also explores the ways in which its ideas perhaps
prepared the way for New Labour in the 1990s, and its relationship
with 'Corbynism' since 2015.
