This book is an excellent introduction to the ideas and arguments
that have guided Labor's economic thinking from 1884 until the
present day, and the influence these ideas have exerted over the
formulation of economic policy. It provides clear and concise
summaries of leading thinkers and schools, and clearly brings out
the diverse nature of the economic thought that has characterized
the Labour party.
This significantly revised edition brings the book up to the
present day and provides a much needed analysis of the Blair
government. It explores how the early thinking of the 1990s has
been applied in government and, in addition to providing a more
developed historical contextualization of ideas and thinkers, the
new edition includes:
* A new introduction discussing the emergence of the Labor Party
and the disparate elements of which it is comprised
* A chapter discussing the intellectual antecedents of, and
influences on, New Labor. It also explores the impact of
globalization and the shifting Labor position on the EU
* A chapter examining the ideological trajectory of New Labor and
where its political economy now lies on the political spectrum. It
also discusses Britain's economic performance since 1997
* A new conclusion discussing the themes that have guided and
informed economic thinking within the labor party and also the
methodologies and emphases that have characterized democratic
socialist political economies in the late 19th and 20th centuries.
The book will be of great interest to students and scholars
studying British politics, British history, economic and political
thought.
