Description: Labour has been on a wild ride over the past thirty years. New Labour argued that we had no choice but to accept a globalized free market economy in which the race was to the swift the open and the flexible. Corbynism reacted against this with a jumble of old school statism and identity politics. Both ultimately failed. In this book Maurice Glasman takes the axe to the soulless utilitarianism and progressive intolerance of both Blair and Corbyn. Human beings he contends are not calculating machines but faithful relational beings who yearn for meaning and belonging. Rooted in their homes families and traditions they seek to resist the revolutionary upheaval of markets and states which try to commodify and dominate their lives and homes by the practice of democracy mutuality and pluralism. This is the true Labour tradition which is paradoxically both radical and conservative and more relevant than ever in a post - Covid world. This crisp statement of the real politics of Blue Labour rather than the absurd caricature of its detractors is Glasman's love letter to the left - conservatism that provides Labour's best chance of moral and indeed electoral redemption.
