The socialism that developed in response to the modernity of Western mass industrial society has largely passed into history. We need to create new kinds of socialism, able effectively to counter the destructive impact of the new globalised forms of capitalism.
The event will include three sessions, each with brief introductions to help facilitate discussion: Michael Rustin and Kate Soper on countering the social recession; Doreen Massey and Bob Sutcliffe on financialisation and globalisation; Neal Lawson, Jeremy Gilbert, Hilary Wainwright on new political strategies for the left.
From Wednesday 23 May, the Soundings website will be beginning the discussion on Left Futures online. Contributors will include: Michael Rustin on a new sociology after New Labour; Ruth Lister on inequality and the social recession; Erik Olin Wright on envisioning real utopias; Andrew Glyn on financialisation; Sue Gerhardt on children and the social recession; Doreen Massey on the local/global; Robin Blackburn on a global pension; Neal Lawson on Labour after New Labour; Priscilla Alderson on intergenerational politics.
Join us online on 23 May and at the event on 30 June.
'New kinds of socialism' is organised in association with Compass (www.compassonline.org.uk) and Red Pepper (www.redpepper.org.uk) and financially supported by the Barry Amiel and Norman Melburn Trust.
