Labour's Utopias

<p>First published in 1992. The collapse of communist rule in Eastern Europe has led to a widespread view that socialism is a dead or at least dying force. <i>Labour’s Utopias </i>argues that this assumption is based on the popular conception that socialism’s various traditions are simply different means to a common end. The author looks at three strands of socialism – Bolshevism Fabianism and German Social Democracy – in order to assess whether this argument is justified concluding that in fact each has a distinct vision of an ideal future. </p><p>This study will appeal to scholars and students of politics history and socialism and to all those with an interest in the alternatives to capitalism.</p>
