This book aims to provide an overview of the history of socialist ideology, strategy, policy and institutions in Britain since the 1880s. It looks at how the promise of socialism became adjusted by perceived notions of socialist societies elsewhere, with their characteristics of centralism, bureaucracy, paternalism, uniformity and inefficiency.
