Synopsis

This book examines policy and program in the key social democratic parties of Britain, France, Germany, and Sweden since the 1970s and seeks to situate change in the context of capitalist restructuring. It examines mass unemployment, faltering economic performance, rising inflation, and strain on welfare states. John Callaghan shows how the radical Left within social democracy initially responded to the unfolding crisis of the post-war order and why it was ultimately defeated. His analysis also reveals the extent of the divergence between British Labour’s subsequent ideological evolution and that of its sister parties in continental Europe.
