Towards A Libertarian Socialism Reflections on the British Labour Party and European Working-Class Movements

A collection of essays from a restive, critical member of Britain’s Labour Party. From the 1920s until his death, G.D.H. Cole was a pre-eminent Labour intellectual who considered himself “neither a Communist nor a Social Democrat in the ordinary sense, but something, not betwixt and between these two, but essentially different from both.” He was a libertarian socialist who loathed coercion, bureaucracy, and the “money-grubbing way of life under capitalism.”

Praise for Towards a Libertarian Socialism

"David Goodway should be congratulated in producing this collection as it will hopefully introduce a sadly forgotten thinker to a new generations of radicals."

G.D.H. Cole (1889–1959) was one of the twentieth century’s outstanding socialist writers and thinkers.
