More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This is an account of the Labour Party between 1972 and 1997. It criticizes Tony Blair's "new Labour" orthodoxy as not only abandoning a commitment to social reform, but also as having rewritten Labour history. The authors argue that this period spawned a "new Labour Left", a viable radical alternative which was deteated only by an over-dependency on parliamentary channels. Both the "Old Labour" centre-right and the Labour Left have been derided as "dinosaurs" and "has-beens", while the period from the early 1970s to Blair's ascendancy has been dismissed as one of division, incompetence and failure. Leo Panitch is the author of "Working-Class Politics in Crisis". Colin Ley is the author of "The Rise and Fall of Development Theory" and "Politics in Britain".
