About this product
Product Information
How should one understand the nature and possibilities of political radicalism? The political radical is normally thought of as someone who stands on the Left, opposing backward-looking conservatism. In the 1990s, however, the Left has turned defensive, while the Right has become radical, advocating the free play of market forces no matter what obstacles of tradition or custom stand in their way. What explains such a curious twist of perspective?

Reviews
"It is difficult to imagine social-scientific thought and practice in Britain and much of Continental Europe without the distinctive contribution of Anthony Giddens. His prolific work has the unique merit of tying together the rich tradition of modern social thought with the challenges of whatever is new and unprecedented in what he has called the "late modern" or "post-traditional" world." Times Literary Supplement"At a time when the pundits are already picking through the ruins of a rapidly disintegrating Conservative Government, anticipating the all-but-inevitable triumph of Tony Blair's seductive socialism, Beyond Left and Right offers a timely critique of it all." Times Higher Education Supplement"I would recommend this book. It has given me some new insights into old problems and made me realise again the importance of dialogue in interpersonal relations. That in itself is a very small step towards a better world." New Times"The texture and range of Giddens's argument is as important as his conclusions. His frequent asides are often insightful and contribute to the sense that one is reading both a major work of scholarship and the crystallisation of many years of thought." Renewal"It is impossible to locate this excellent text in any one area of interest: few could fail to gain anything from it." Aslib Book Guide"The author seeks to analyse the far-reaching social changes now taking place with the help of a number of new, thought-provoking concepts." Labour Research"Giddens's discussion usefully joins seemingly disparate issues and political perspectives ... This work outlines a promising path for more detailed research." Ethics, "It is difficult to imagine social-scientific thought and practicein Britain and much of Continental Europe without the distinctivecontribution of Anthony Giddens.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
