This volume, marking the eightieth anniversary of the journal The Political Quarterly, contains a selection of articles from eight decades of progressive writing and provides both a fascinating window on the past and a stimulus to thought and action in the present.
- A free-thinking platform for the leading voices of the progressive tradition in British politics
- Spans eight decades of progressive writing from voices which still have something to say to us now
- Aims to bridge the divide between thought and action and to provide an intellectual foundation for practical reform and for progressive politics
