Binding tight and pages bright and clean. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA compelling work of political memoir and twentieth-century British history, Change and Fortune: A Political Record chronicles the remarkable career of Douglas Jay, one of the most influential figures in the post-war Labour movement. Jay presents an insider's account of the seismic shifts in British economic and social policy, drawing on his experiences as a close adviser to Clement Attlee and later as a Cabinet minister under Harold Wilson. Written with the measured authority of a trained economist and seasoned politician, the narrative details the fierce ideological battles, electoral triumphs, and bitter disappointments that defined Labour's decades in and out of power. Jay also argues passionately against British entry into the European Common Market, a stance that made him a controversial figure within his own party and lends the memoir a sharp, uncompromising edge. For readers interested in the inner workings of Westminster, the evolution of democratic socialism, or the personalities who shaped modern Britain, this is an indispensable primary source.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792252186843,"sku":"2026200004698-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d32e95fa-4fc6-4a6c-9f1c-66b936dc1cef.png?v=1779274112","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200004698-secondhand-change-and-fortune-a-political-record","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
