Publisher's Synopsis
In this pamphlet, Tony Blair asks: what does "ethical socialism", the new buzz-phrase of the Left, mean? Why has Labour been out of power for so long? How can it win again?;This analysis outlines the history of socialist ideas in 20th-century Britain and concludes that Labour condemned itself to a period of defeat when it followed the time-limited Marxist analysis. It is, Blair argues, only now that ethical socialism has re-emerged as the unifying feature of socialism that Labour has once again established itself as the natural party for government.
