The Great Arch: English State Formation as Cultural Revolution
The Renewed Search for Social Trusteeship: Cohen and Fitch on Social Justice and the City
It has become a commonplace to argue that in the face of a discredited Marxism, socialism must find an alternative basis for a renewed project. This article investigates two of these claims by Gerald Cohen and Bob Fitch.

In this article we argue that, over a period of three decades, British bankers attempted to create lending facilities which were to be directly aim…
