Dilemma of Our Times (Works of Harold J. Laski) - An Historical Essay

Informationen zum Autor Harold J. Laski Zusammenfassung This book, originally published in 1952, unfinished and perhaps imperfect is the last book of one of the most acute political thinkers of the twentieth century. Laski’s earlier optimism about a swing to the Left was beginning to be reversed, and in this volume he saw the defects of his previous optimistic surveys, which, in his opinion, still had value, but needed to be brought up-to-date and consquently he began to write an additional chapter which was never completed. It remains a valuable last word of an author who for thirty years was respected and listened to on the topic of civilisation’s survial through change. Inhaltsverzeichnis Chapters 1 – 14.
