The State of the Nation by Geoffrey Goodman
November 1997 marks the anniversary of the birth of Aneurin Bevan. His philosophy, ideas and world view retain relevance today. In this text, left-wing political thinkers relate Bevan's thought to contemporary political realities. It questions whether Bevan was the last real British socialist, or was his vision of a developing society so far ahead of its time that it is only now becoming relevant. The essays included cover issues ranging from the arts to education by: Tessa Blackstone, Donald Bruce, Barbara Castle, Jill Craigie, Michael Foot, Geoffrey Goodman, Will Hutton, Dai Smith, Alan Watkins and Charles Webster.
