The Progressive Tradition by Andrew Gamble

The Progressive Tradition by Andrew Gamble

Since its first issue in 1930, The Political Quarterly has provided a free-thinking platform for the leading voices of the progressive tradition in British politics. Its mission is to bridge the divide between thought and action and to provide an intellectual foundation for practical reform and progressive politics.

His research interests lie in political economy, political theory and British politics, and his books include Between Europe and America: the future of British politics and The Spectre at the Feast: capitalist crisis and the politics of recession. In 2005 he received the Isaiah Berlin Prize from the Political Studies Association for lifetime contribution to political studies.
