Description
Futures of Socialism: The Pandemic and the Post-Corbyn Era by Grace Blakeley In the aftermath of the 2019 election defeat, the British left is grappling with the challenges of a global pandemic and a changing political landscape. This collection of essays brings together a diverse range of voices to explore the future of socialism in Britain. From assessments of Labour's electoral defeat to debates about austerity and precarity, and the prospects for an eco-socialist Green New Deal, this anthology offers a comprehensive look at the state of the left today. Featuring contributions from leading thinkers on the British left, including Sam Gindin, Dalia Gebrial, and Leo Panitch, as well as Unite's Andrew Murray and Momentum co-founder James Schneider, this book provides a nuanced and in-depth analysis of the current state of socialist politics in Britain. With a focus on the post-Corbyn era, Blakeley draws on the talents of a wide range of contributors to survey the prospects of a movement that has dominated the horizons of our lives.
