In this essential selection of his essays during the period, he elaborates both how Thatcher's rise to power exploited weakness in the left, but also how the left itself can refresh itself in the shadow of defeat. This collection is as vital today as it was in 1988.\r\n\r\n Through the essays Hall shows how  Thatcher has exploited discontent with Labour's record in office and  with aspects of the welfare state to devise a potent authoritarian,  populist ideology. This ranges through the formation of the SDP, inner city riots, the Falklands War and  the signficance of Antonio Gramsci. He suggests that Thatcherism is  skillfully employing the restless and individualistic dynamic of  consumer capitalism to promote a swingeing programme of 'regressive  modernization'.\r\n\r\n   In response he elaboraties a new politics for the Left as it is with the project  of the Right. Hall insists that the Left can no longer trade on  inherited politics and tradition. Socialists today must be as radical as  modernity itself.\r\n\r\n Valuable pointers to a new politics are identified in  the experience of feminism, the campaigns of the GLC and the world-wide  response to Band Aid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
