FROM THE CRITICS

Booknews

According to Williams (political science and public policy, U. of Hertford and De Montfort U.) failure by Labour and Conservative governments led to a crisis of confidence in the British political system by the middle 1970s. Out of the ruin rose Thatcherism, which laid the foundation for a new consensus embodied in New Labour. But this is no innovation, he says, and traces the same pattern of crisis and consensus since the Industrial Revolution before focusing on the more recent period. Annotation c.
