A collection of essays from a restive, critical member of Britain’s Labour Party. From the 1920s until his death, D.G.H. Cole was a pre-eminent Labour intellectual who considered himself “neither a Communist nor a Social Democrat in the ordinary sense, but something, not betwixt and between these two, but essentially different from both.” He was a libertarian socialist who loathed coercion, bureaucracy, and the “money-grubbing way of life under capitalism.”
