James Hinton chronicles the rise of trade unionism, the birth of the Labour Party, and the perpetual tension between socialist ambition and the pragmatic demands of parliamentary politics, charting how working-class Britain shaped — and was shaped by — the forces of industrial capitalism and the modern state.\n\nHinton brings a sharp analytical intelligence to his narrative, situating the labour movement within broader currents of economic change and political thought, illuminating the recurring fault lines between reformism and radicalism that defined its internal debates. Written with clarity and conviction, this work stands as an essential text for anyone seeking to understand the ideological foundations of the British left — and why the promise of a socialist transformation remained, for so long, tantalizingly out of reach.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130996891867,"sku":"2026100007480-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f7a918f5-d44d-461f-8932-8f402819f44a.png?v=1786594045","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007480-secondhand-labour-and-socialism-a-history-of-the-british-labour-movement-1867-1974","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
