Host Sam is joined by editor-in-chief Ciaran to interview Colm Murphy, Deputy Director of the Mile End Institute and Lecturer in British Politics at Queen Mary University of London, about his new book Futures of Socialism 'Modernisation', the Labour party, and the British Left 1973-1997.
We talk about the contested meanings of Modernisation, how it came to be thought of synonymously with New Labour, whether New Labour were neoliberals, constitutional reform, and who and what the soft left are.
Futures of Socialism (ISBN: 9781009278812) is out now from Cambridge University Press for £85.00
