C. A. R. Crosland argues that the traditional socialist preoccupation with public ownership and nationalization had become outdated, and that the true goals of socialism — greater equality, social justice, and individual freedom — could be achieved within a reformed capitalist framework. Written with intellectual confidence and analytical precision, the text challenges orthodox Labour Party doctrine and charts a revisionist course that would shape the trajectory of centre-left politics for decades. Crosland draws on economics, sociology, and political philosophy to illustrate how rising prosperity and the managed mixed economy had fundamentally altered the landscape that earlier socialists had sought to transform. Ambitious in scope and bracingly direct in argument, this seminal 1956 treatise remains one of the most influential and debated contributions to democratic socialist theory ever written.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810621370587,"sku":"2026200006933-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ef4af70f-f242-4110-b115-c3858aa6bc7c.png?v=1779806134","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006933-secondhand-the-future-of-socialism","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
