Social Democracy in Neoliberal Times: The Left and Economic Policy since 1980 / Edition 1

by Andrew Glyn

Overview

Never has the Left held power in so many advanced economies, yet this has had little effect on economic policy. This book examines the successes and failures of govenments in Europe and Australia to chart distinctive courses in the face of neoliberal backlash against state intervention, the welfare state, and guaranteed full employment.
