First published in 1973. In this study, the author adopts a
historical approach, tracing the evolution of socialist thinking
during the past century and relating this to the growth of the
union movement. The Taff Vale judgement, the Osborne judgement, the
roles of the SDF, the Fabians, and the ILP - these episodes are
re-examined from a novel perspective, and the historical material
is frequently illuminated by the use of contemporary analogies. The
second half of the book presents an analytical study of differing
union political theories and attitudes against the modern
industrial background. Here the Marxist case is studied in depth
and contrasted with the views of the Social Democrats. The author
then considers the ownership and control of the economy, industrial
relations, prices and incomes and inflation, making it clear where
he feels the movement should stand on the key political issues of
today. Finally, the book suggests the way in which the Labour Party
and the trade unions should organise for power in the country.
