The 50th anniversary edition of the most influential book on post-war Labour thinking, with a foreword by Gordon Brown and introduction by Dick Leonard. Still relevant 50 years after it was first published, Crosland's masterwork was a radical reworking of the role of the post-war Labour Party. But it has become increasingly important in our own times, as both the achievements and the shortcomings of the New Labour project become more apparent.
This book sets out the philosophy and also contains the key for reviving the fortunes of the party of the future.
Included in this new edition is a foreword by Gordon Brown, and an historical introduction by Dick Leonard, who was Crosland's Parliamentary Private Secretary, as well as an afterword by Susan Crosland.
Published by Constable & Robinson, in association with the Fabian Society.
"We do not wish to enter the age of abundance only to find that we have lost the values which must teach us how to enjoy it"
