It sought to change the nature of the state, to drive a wedge between finance and empire, to stress the importance of a planned economy for all, and to detach Britain from the imperial goals to which it had long been committed. Today, the spirit of The May Day Manifesto offers a road map to a brighter future. The original publication brought together the most influential radical voices of the era. Among the seventy signatories were Raymond Williams, E.P. Thompson, Stuart Hall, Iris Murdoch, Terry Eagleton, Ralph Miliband, and R.D. Laing. This edition comes with an introduction from Owen Jones, who brings a sense of urgency and hope to the contemporary debate. 4aSocialismozGran Bretaña. 4aGran BretañaxCondiciones económicasy1964-19791 aWilliams, Raymondeeditor1 aJones, Owen,d1984-eintroducción
