- About this book
-
Anthony Crosland, a member of Harold Wilson's cabinet and the author of The Future of Socialism, was an influential British social democrat. His ambitious reappraisal of nationalised ownership and regulated enterprise continues to stimulate discussion in the debate about management versus market. Anthony Crosland: The Mixed Economy examines Crosland's controversial approach to capital and control, situating his attempt to redefine the economic basis of socialism in the context of his own experiences and the intellectual tradition of the philosophical middle ground.

'Tony Crosland was the greatest thinker the British left has produced this century...David Reisman is a bold man to write an account of Crosland's life and opinions while some of Tony's former acolytes are still alive, because they are an argumentative and stroppy bunch. His beautifully produced books are entirely successful in outlining Crosland's clear but often complex chain of reasoning. I imagine that they will amaze their general readership, especially the younger portion, who, accustomed only to the vacuous soundbite, must have forgotten that there was a time when political debate was intelligent and meaningful. Reisman has also accomplished the much more difficult task of capturing the flavour of the man.' - Brian Walden, Literary Review
'These two studies on the legacy of the only philosopher-king produced by the British left in the second half of the 20th century deserve to be required reading, at least in the present Labour leader's office.' - Anthony Howard, The Times
David Reisman's two volumes of intellectual biography and analysis [are] the most careful and thought-provoking exegesis yet to appear.' - Ben Pimlott, London Reivew of Books
