Socialism and the mindset of the traditional left have outlived their purpose. A new political philosophy is neweded in the cause of creating a fair and egalitarian society for the peoples of our planet. This is a startling yet profound book which strikes at the foundations of established politics in the West.
The author's conclusions are drawn from two directions: an analysis of the consequences of the transformation of society over the past 60 years industrialised economies; and personal experiences as an activist, both locally and nationally, after 14 years within the Labour party. It is demonstrated that both the Labour party, and socialism in the wider world, is now counter-productive to its given purpose: i.e. it hinders rather than promotes the progress of the less fortunate people in our midst.
