One of the most outstanding recent works on social democracy. Moschonas analyses with extreme accuracy the 'great transformation' of this major political force through its multiple dimensions. - Gerard Grunberg This excellent book maps out the profound doubts about social democratic identity at a time when the parties in question appear resigned to choosing between different forms of inequality. Always perceptive in its criticisms, it has a genuine non-polemical feel about the current predicament of the European Left. A lively, energetic and intelligent analysis. - Donald Sassoon.
