Seeking Social Democracy

Seven Decades in the Fight for Equality

Beschreibung

Part political history, part intellectual biography, part manifesto for social democracy. The structure of the book is unique in that Broadbent is "in conversation" with three social democrat thinkers from different generations, the result being a fresh analysis of social democracy and a lively contribution to current debates and dilemmas.
