Description
This is essential reading for anyone with a serious interest in social democracy. It challenges the conventional wisdom that social democracy was market-hostile forty years ago and is market-friendly now, and provides detailed accounts of the British Labour Party and the Swedish Social Democratic Party and their shifting approaches to the liberal market economy between 1965 and 2002. It offers an original claim about the parties' capacity to be flexible. -- .
