Omschrijving
An unexpected story of how Britain has and has not changed, how things might not be as bad as we routinely think they are and how we really do need to pause before saying sweeping things about neoliberalism.
At a time when polarised argument on social media has obscured the fact that politics is usually cast in shades of grey, [Hindmoors] nuanced case ought to be welcome.
An extraordinary timely moment to remind the world of how politics in the real world affects the ability to make positive change and how winning widespread support is essential to attaining power.
The Left prides itself on its intellectual optimism but Andrew Hindmoor shows convincingly that the opposite is the case. This important book isolates the tendency of the political Left to regard its own nation with pessimism.
The future of social democracy depends on better understanding its past. Andy Hindmoor provides a clear-headed rather than optimistic assessment, backed by convincing evidence and careful analysis. His commentary will help a great deal in the process of rediscovering what is the social democratic project and how it could be delivered.
Andrew Hindmoor is Professor of Politics at the University of Sheffield. He grew up in Sheffield where he currently resides, and is also an Honorary Professor at the University of Queensland. He is winner of the 2014 Harrison Prize for the best article in Political Studies and winner of the 2015 prize for the best article published in the British Journal of Politics and International Relations.
