Class, Power, Democratic Socialism: The Political Thought of Aneurin Bevan

This event has ended.

Aneurin Bevan has earned a substantial legacy in British politics. Yet, despite the reverence attached to him, there remain disagreements concerning his politics. In his new book ‘The Political Thought of Aneurin Bevan’, Nye Davies addresses Bevan as a political thinker in order to get to the heart of his politics.

In this upcoming event, Nye Davies is joined by philosopher Huw Williams to discuss the book and the ideas that underpinned Bevan’s political thought, including his analysis of class conflict, his commitment to parliamentary politics, and his outlook on international relations.

As well as Bevan’s own ideas, Nye and Huw will consider Bevan’s legacy today both in Wales and in the Labour Party. At a time of profound ideological disagreement in the party and on the British left, this event is a must-attend for anyone interested in the history of the Labour Party and the future of progressive politics.
