Author Biography
Ben Jackson is University Lecturer and Tutorial Fellow in Modern British History at University College, Oxford
Reviews'In recognising the fluid movement of ideas across ideological 'boundaries', and in taking a step away from a narrow emphasis on the great books of great men, Jackson reveals the intellectual rationale behind some deeply held Labour sentiments. It is also the most useful study of Labour's political thought which I have read for some time and a timely reminder that equality is a traditional and recurrent Labour belief.' Duncan Tanner, University of Wales Bangor
