Reviews for Class War Conservatism
3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I nearly gave up on this book: the early chapters are an outdated vindication of Soviet style socialism. I appreciate that this might have been an arguable perspective when it was written but, surely is passé now.Parts three and four are much more interesting to the modern reader. They concern Britain and the effects of the Thatcher/Reagan revolution and Neo Liberalism. It is helpful, sometimes, to go back to the view at the time of this cataclysmic event; from which we are still suffering the aftershock.
