The Labour Party and the Planned Economy, 1931-1951
Author: Richard Toye
Publisher: Boydell & Brewer
ISBN: 0861932625
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
An exploration of Labour's 1931 pledge to create a planned socialist economy and the reasons for its failure to do so. In the general election of 1931, the Labour Party campaigned on the slogan "Plan or Perish". The party's pledge to create a planned socialist economy was a novelty, and marked the rejection of the gradualist, evolutionary socialism to which Labour had adhered under the leadership of Ramsay MacDonald. Although heavily defeated in that election, Labour stuck to its commitment. The Attlee government came to power in 1945 determined to plan comprehensively. Yet, the aspiration to create a fully planned economy was not met. This book explores the origins and evolution of the promise, in order to explain why it was not fulfilled. RICHARD TOYE lectures in history at Homerton College, Cambridge.

Labour, British radicalism and the First World War
Author: Lucy Bland
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526109328
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 290

This book provides a concise set of thirteen essays looking at various aspects of the British left, movements of protest and the cumulative impact of the First World War.
