Book Synopsis The Conservatives' Economic Policy (Routledge Revivals) by : Grahame Thompson
Download or read book The Conservatives' Economic Policy (Routledge Revivals) written by Grahame Thompson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happened to economic policy during the first five years of Mrs Thatcher’s government? Most commentators have emphasised the radical changes wrought in economic theory and policy over the period from 1979. The left saw this as heralding the introduction of the social market economy and authoritarian populism, the right saw it as evangelical monetarism and a new beginning. This book, first published in 1986, challenges the notion that there was a revolution in economic policy making. It emphasises the constraints on economic policy formation and the ironies that these have thrown up with respect to the Conservatives’ attempts at changing the course of the economy. The book argues that the Thatcher government had not been able to implement a great deal of its rhetoric. This book is ideal for students of economics and politics.
Book Synopsis Free Market Conservatism (Routledge Revivals) by : Edward Nell
Download or read book Free Market Conservatism (Routledge Revivals) written by Edward Nell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1984, this book carefully dissects and convincingly demonstrates that conservative economics is incoherent in theory and disastrous in practice. The three main schools of thought supporting "free-market" policies – supply side economics, monetarism and rational expectations – are examined in turn and each is found defective. Three case studies of conservative policy in action follow: Reagan’s U.S., Thatcher’s U.K. and Pinochet’s Chile and their courses are charted in depth. In addition, Robert Heilbroner and Edward Nell analyse economic conservatism’s ideology and social policy, and the book concludes with an assessment of the political reasons for the continuing appeal of free-market conservatism despite its theoretical incoherence and practical failure. This is a careful and comprehensive look at this subject which tackles both the theory and the practice head-on. It will make useful and stimulating reading for students of economics and political economy on courses of economic policy and macro-economics and in addition will be of keen interest to all those involved in the debate about one of the major policy issues of our time.
Book Synopsis The Conservative Nation (Routledge Revivals) by : Andrew Gamble
Download or read book The Conservative Nation (Routledge Revivals) written by Andrew Gamble and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-27 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1880s, the Conservative Party has been an important political force in Britain. In this study of Conservative ideology since the end of Second World War, first published in 1974, Andrew Gamble considers the nature of Conservative party opinion, and the factors that have accounted for its success. The adaptation of the party post-1945 is discussed, as well as the ascendancy of the Right progressives in the leadership, and the challenge of the Whigs and Imperialists. Finally, the book includes a discussion of the fluctuations within the Conservative Government between 1970 and 1974, with an account of what Gamble believes to have been ultimately a failure. A rigorous and comprehensive analysis of Conservative thought and policy, this study will be of particular value to those with an interest in the history of British Conservative politics and government.

Book Synopsis The Psychology of Conservatism (Routledge Revivals) by : Glenn Wilson
Download or read book The Psychology of Conservatism (Routledge Revivals) written by Glenn Wilson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1973, The Psychology of Conservatism explores attitudes, their measurement, their structure and dynamics, and the personality traits apparently underlying attitude patterns. It examines the link between differing attitudes and discusses characteristic patterns and syndromes. The book focuses on the origins and dynamics of a major factor called "liberalism – conservatism" which is found to account for much of the variance in attitudes amongst different people. Contributors review previous studies relating to personality and attitude before engaging in new studies and proposing their own theories to explain the conservative attitude. The book introduces provocative theoretical ideas and provides a valuable examination of an important psychological and social attitude syndrome. This book will be of interest to researchers in personality and social psychology, sociology and political science and education.

Book Synopsis Public Order and Private Lives (Routledge Revivals) by : Michael Brake
Download or read book Public Order and Private Lives (Routledge Revivals) written by Michael Brake and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1992, Public Order and Private Lives is a radical examination of the political forces which shaped the law and order debate in Britain at that time. The authors offer a significant and provoking analysis of Conservative policies on crime, showing that, ironically, they created the very social conditions in which crime flourished. The book argues that the Conservative government undermined basic civil liberties by its increased use of legislation as a means of control and coercion, and as a result of this, crime increased under their governance.

Book Synopsis The Robert Hall Diaries 1954-1961 (Routledge Revivals) by : Alec Cairncross, Sir
Download or read book The Robert Hall Diaries 1954-1961 (Routledge Revivals) written by Alec Cairncross, Sir and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord Roberthall was economic adviser to a succession of Labour and Conservative governments from 1947 to 1961. During that time, he served under eight Chancellors and exercised more influence on economic policy than perhaps any other official. Fortunately - though it was contrary to Civil Service rules - he kept a diary in which he documented and reflected on day-to-day events. This second volume, published in 1991, covers the years between 1954 and 1961, after Robert Hall's appointment as Economic Adviser to HM Government. The book includes details of conferences and negotiations in Australia, the United States and Canada, as well as accounts dealing with the struggles to contain inflation and moderate wages. This is a highly readable and fascinating account of what went on inside government in the post-war years. The book provides a unique picture of the relationship between Whitehall and Downing Street, and those people who shaped this challenging period in British economic history. Edited by Sir Alec Cairncross, who succeeded Lord Roberthall as Economic Adviser to HM Government in 1961, this reissue will interest any student researching policy and decision-making in the post-war period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culture and Consensus, first published in 1995 and a revised edition in 1997, explores the history of the relationship between politics and the arts in Britain since 1940, and shows how the search for a secure sense of English identity has been reflected in official and unofficial attitudes to the arts, architecture, landscape and other emblems of national significance. Illustrating his argument with a series of detailed case histories, Robert Hewison analyses how Britain’s cultural life has reached its present enfeebled condition and suggests a way forward. This book will be of interest to students of art and cultural studies.
