Description
Despised: Why the Modern Left Loathes the Working Class
Paul Embery argues that the disconnect between the Labour Party and working-class Britain has been a result of the Left's adoption of economic and social liberalism. Drawing on his background as a firefighter and trade unionist, Embery contends that the Left can only revive by speaking to the priorities of working-class people and combining socialist economics with cultural politics of belonging, place, and community.
This insightful and passionate book offers a fresh perspective on the dysfunction of modern politics and the Left's role in addressing it.
