PODCAST: The death of the Left
The LoveReading Books of the Year 2022 in Love Reading
The left is dead. Its ailments cannot be cured. The only way to resurrect what was once valuable in leftist politics is to declare the left dead and begin from the beginning again. Winlow and Hall identify the root causes of its maladies, describe how new cultural obsessions displaced core unifying principles and explore the yawning chasm that now separates the left from the working class. Drawing upon a wealth of historical evidence to structure their story of entryism, corruption, fragmentation and decline, they close the book by outlining how a new reincarnation of the left can win in the 21st century.
Simon Winlow is Professor of Social Science at Northumbria University.
Steve Hall is Emeritus Professor of Criminology at Teesside University.
Together, they are the authors of many notable works in the social sciences, including the recent The Rise of the Right: English Nationalism and the Transformation of Working-Class Politics.
