Labour’s Agenda in a Period of Reaction

New!

From: The Fire and the Ashes

In this chapter, Jackson examines CLC policies in the 1980s and 1990s, which struck a balance between inward-looking economic nationalism, regulating access to domestic markets, and a more outward-looking strategy that sought to resist neo-liberal globalization.
