New Labour was not conjured up out of thin air - it only looks like
that because of the party's amnesia concerning its intellectual
development. This book provides extracts from fifteen thinkers
located within the revisionist tradition as an antidote to that
amnesia. It is an 'all star cast' from Labour's history, from
Tawney, Jay, Crosland and Gaitskell to Gordon Brown. The collection
shows that revisionism is not a body of doctrine, but a cast of
mind that distinguishes between core values (ends) and policy
instruments (means) - revisionist thinkers do not shrink from
abandoning any policy that fails to deliver the desired ends. In
the contentious debates about the future of public services, the
Blair government is determined to avoid the confusion of means and
ends. These essays show this determination to be deep-rooted in
Labour thinking.
