Published annually since 1964, Socialist Register stands as one of the most authoritative and enduring forums for left-wing political analysis. The 1987 volume, subtitled Conservatism in Britain and America: Rhetoric and Reality, presents a rigorous and unflinching critique of the New Right as it took hold under Thatcher and Reagan, dissecting the gap between conservative ideology and its real-world consequences. Edited by three distinguished socialist scholars, the collection gathers essays from leading thinkers who interrogate the economic, cultural, and political dimensions of the conservative turn in Western democracies. Written with sharp intellectual authority, the volume argues that the New Right's proclaimed values of freedom, tradition, and enterprise masked a far more divisive and class-driven political project. An essential reference for students and scholars of political theory, labour history, and modern Anglo-American politics, this anthology remains a landmark in socialist thought.
