The Politics of Change

London England: Secker & Warburg. Paperback. Previous owners name and date to inside cover. Very slight crease to front cover. The condition of Britain has been transformed in the post-war world, but all is not well. High unemployment, industrial dereliction and riots in our cities are the symptoms of a dangerous decay. The benefits of a mature and stable democracy are not reflected in the achievements of our two-party system. On the contrary, Britain has been badly governed for much of two decades. This book is both a testament of personal conviction and an analysis of what has gone wrong and how it might be remedied. It looks sharply at some of the myths that politicians have fostered, particularly on the extremes of Left and Right. it considers in deoth some of the controversial issues of the day - the place of incomes policy and the management of the mixed economy - and comments on the relevance of our political institutions to the problems they seek to solve. It refers to the deceline of the Labour Party and the emergence of the social democratic challenge to the old parties. It points to a new, radical, middle way that combines a realistic approach to economic and industrial questions with an enduring concern for man's relationship to man. 199 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
