| Abstract | "Futures of Socialism overhauls the history of 'modernisation' and the British Left and recasts our understanding of New Labour. It provides an innovative, iconoclastic history of debates over the 'modernisation' of the Labour Party, beginning with the shocks of the 1970s and ending with the emergence of New Labour"-- Provided by publisher. |
