Description - Losing the Argument?: Neoliberal Industrial Relations Policy and the British Labour Movement by Conor Cradden

The transformation of the terms of the industrial relations policy debate was among the most significant and lasting effects of Margaret Thatcher's eleven years in office. By the time she left power, radically new ideas about management and the employment relationship had taken root. This book argues that the success of the Conservatives' ideological project was at least partly due to the failure of the labour movement to come up with an intellectually adequate response to this transformation. While it is commonplace to observe that the British labour movement lost the political battle with the Thatcher governments, it is less frequently recognised, still less explained, that the TUC and the Labour Party also lost the public policy argument.
