From the acclaimed author of Promised You a Miracle and When the Lights Went Out, the untold story of British politics in modern times, through the triumphs and disasters of its five most radical figures 'A breath of fresh air: a vivid eye for detail meets narrative pacing that seems effortless.' Morgan Jones, LabourList ‘An absorbing history of Labour’s radical left.’ Jason Cowley, Observer ‘The Searchers should be studied closely by anyone with a stake in British politics.’ Patrick Maguire, The Times In the great revolutionary year of 1968, Tony Benn was a respectable Labour minister in his forties, and he was restless. While new social movements were shaking up Britain and much of the world, Westminster politics seemed stuck. It was time, he decided, for a different approach. Over the next half century, the radicalized Benn helped forge a new left in Britain. He was joined by four other politicians, who would become comrades, collaborators and rivals: Ken Livingstone, John McDonnell, Diane Abbott and Jeremy Corbyn. For Andy Beckett, the story of these admired and loathed political explorers - both their sudden breakthroughs and long stretches in the wilderness - is the untold story of British politics in modern times. As he reveals, their project to create a radically more equal, liberal and democratic Britain has been much more influential than electoral history might suggest, and can be seen from the shape of our city life to the causes of our culture wars. For their many detractors, this influence was and remains dangerous: a form of extremism that must be stamped out. But as these five searchers believed, in politics there is no total victory - nor total defeat. Support Zer0 Books and Repeater Media on Patreon:

О книге Уле Бьерга «Как делаются деньги? Философия посткредитного капитализма»

This event was recorded on 11 June 2015 at the IWM Library. Varieties of Inequality: What Can Be Done About Them and Why It Must Be Done Two things are established beyond any reasonable doubt. First, inequality of income and, even more so, wealth have steadily increased in the OECD world since the 1980s. Second, prevailing levels and drivers of inequality are not just obscene in terms of any conceivable notion of social justice; they are also severely damaging for the entire economies, societies and polities affected, not just for the losers. The puzzle, both theoretical and very practical, is why capitalist democracies allow the serious self-inflicted damage of widening inequality to continue. One possibly promising practical answer is that (re)distributive policies are reframed so that they focus not on “the poor” nor on “the worker," but on the citizen as the bearer and beneficiary of universal economic rights as distributive claims. Claus Offe is Professor of Political Sociology at the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin and a member of the IWM Academic Advisory Board. He previously held chairs of political science and political sociology at the Universities of Bielefeld, Bremen and Humboldt University, Berlin. Offe belongs to the successor generation of the Frankfurt School and during his doctorate was assistant to Jürgen Habermas. He was a founding member of the German Green party and more recently of the Basic Income Earth Network – Germany. His publications include "Die Teilhabegesellschaft. Modell eines neuen Wohlfahrtsstaates" [The shared society. A model for a new welfare state] (with Gerd Grözinger and Michael Maschke, 2006) and "Reflections on America. Tocqueville, Weber and Adorno in the United States" (2005). This keynote speech opened the conference Solidarity IX: On Distribution, jointly organized by Columbia University, IWM and the Social Science Research Council and generously supported by ERSTE Foundation.
