David Marquand
Professor David Marquand's struggle both intellectually and politically to marry social liberalism with social democracy may have failed in his lifetime. But he was right, and anticipated what must happen. The decades ahead promise to be more propitious to his cause
About Time
"Where does all the time go? Despite the burgeoning army of machines designed to save us time - from cars and aeroplanes to dishwashers and microwaves - we don't seem to have any more of it on our hands. We simply fill the space we clear with more things to do - consuming more, spending more - and then look around for new ways of saving time. And so we spiral onwards, upwards, ever faster. Being busy has become a habit, and a habit that gives us …
Dodging the Real Arguments—A Response to John Kay
The City and the cities
In the wake of a financial crisis and recession, the UK faces a challenging recovery. This represents an important time to revisit the UK's systems of finance and ownership. This article argues that failures in the national structure of ownership have had significant consequences in local economies where important companies were based. It argues that current efforts to reform the financial system need to focus on supporting innovative high growth…
Tony Blair's ‘Media’ Speech
Tony Blair's speech challenged the media over its standards in his valedictory lecture. Many of his charges about the absence of balance, attacks on motive and a pack mentality stand up, even if some are exaggerated and also applied well before his arrival in 10 Downing Street. Mr Blair's solutions did ot match his critique. What is required is a more self‐questioning media, being held to account on the internet and on specialist blogging sites. …
New Keynesianism and New Labour
Toward social regeneration
Is there now a new and sustainable model for cities and, indeed, for society as a whole? Is that what all the talk about sustainability, empowerment, stakeholders, partnership, the third sector is essentially about? Or are these terms elements of a new rhetoric that seems, but only seems, to point in that direction? We publish here further extracts from our conference1 which addressed these issues. In the first section below, ‘Toward social regen…

What does ‘the city’ do for the UK
We often talk about ‘the capitalist city’ or ‘... society’ or ‘... economy’ as though these were homogeneous. But Will Hutton's three programmes on the City for BBC Radio cast light on different forms of regulation in capitalism and the different kinds of results they have. Though the programmes do not focus on the kinds of cities which get produced under these forms of regulation, they do show how the City and the UK banking system disregard loc…
The Keynesian angle
Still debating the British disease
Relaunching Western Economies
the West, people feel a growing sense of being at risk. The shape of this risk shock varies, obviously, given the wide variety of welfare and employment struc tures among these countries, but the phenomenon emerges everywhere in one form or another. There is a process of marginalization and social exclusion in train that is reproducing some of the worst features of the nineteenth century in terms of both inequality and poverty The United States h…

Britain in a cold climate
In this final article on Britain's foreign economic policy, Will Hutton argues that as the last British pretentions to being a world power are ‘stripped away’, an opportunity exists for a reassessment of its foreign policy aims. These, he maintains, are inevitably linked to domestic policy choices which reflect the kind of society we want. The first of these aims should concentrate on the development of the national economy, any reconstruction of…
