This work outlines a strategy for how the contemporary left should
build progressive alliances. It takes a 'drawing lessons from
history' approach, focusing especially on the exchanges of ideas
that took place among European progressive movements and authors
between WW1 and WW2. These exchanges bridged ideological and
partisan divides between socialists and liberals of various
stripes, and included prominent British figures-e.g., John Maynard
Keynes, Clement Attlee, John A. Hobson, G.D.H. Cole, and Ramsay
MacDonald- as well as their contemporaries in Austria, the Benelux,
and Weimar Germany. This work seeks to connect these interwar
debates to the questions raised by the current crisis in social
democracy, and the somewhat contrasting backdrop this provides to
the Labour party's recent electoral and polling positions. Rather
than letting the relationship between 'radicals' and 'moderates' on
the left in current political discourse be defined by the
'reformist' or 'revolutionary' nature of their aims, the work makes
the case for today's social democrats to adopt a cross-party and
cross-class 'unity strategy'.
