What is the future for progressive politics in advanced capitalism? With its political fortunes so low, how might the Left move forward?
These essays from leading left intellectuals Dean Baker, Fred Block, David Coates, Hilary Wainwright, Colin Crouch, Wolfgang Streeck, Leo Panitch, Sam Gindin and Matthew Watson reflect on the scale and nature of the task that the Left now faces. The contributors, whose experience stretches back to the headier days of 1968, consider what it is that they should pass on to a younger generation of thinkers and activists tasked with taking progressive politics forward today.
The contributors tackle a series of big questions what in modern capitalism has brought the Left to this impasse; what role has the Left played in its own failings; what lessons can be learnt for the form and content of progressive politics going forward; and what are the immediate options and how can they best be pursued. The views and opinions expressed vary some are optimistic, some pessimistic but all offer searching insight into the task the Left now faces, and what, especially if it was complicit in the neoliberal settlement, it has left to draw on from its intellectual and practical experience to deal with its contemporary challenges.
Akin to The Forward March of Labour Halted published some thirty years ago, these essays represent a major statement on the future for centre-left politics and a frank appraisal of the Left s current capabilities to keep conservatism at bay and radical politics in the ascendancy.
