Peter Shore worked under Hugh Gaitskell, serving in successive
Labour Cabinets under first Harold Wilson and subsequently James
Callaghan. He wrote the 1964, 1966 and 1970 general election
manifestos for the party and stood in both the 1980 and the 1983
party leadership elections. He would go on to be known as one of
the Labour Party's most important thinkers. He had a long political
career at the upper levels of the Labour Party and was close to
successive leaders. Despite this, he was also independent minded,
as evidenced by the 1976 IMF crisis and his long-standing
opposition to European integration. As well as this key debate, the
authors also address crucial issues within the Labour movement,
from macroeconomic management to the extent to which the party can
be a force for socialism. This remarkable new study offers a
comprehensive and timely reappraisal of the man and his record,
examining the context within which he operated, his approach and
responses to changing social and economic norms, his opposition to
Britain's membership of what is now the EU, and how he was viewed
by peers from across the political spectrum. Finally, it examines
the overall impact of Peter Shore on the development of British
politics. With contributions from leading experts in the fields of
political theory, and from Shore's own contemporaries, this book is
an important new assessment of one of Labour's most interesting
political thinkers in twentieth-century British politics.
