When, in 2013, the Daily Mail labeled Ralph Miliband The Man Who Hated Britain, a diverse host rallied to his defense. Those who had worked with him - from both left and right - praised his work and character. He was lauded as one of the best-known academic Marxists of his generation and a leading figure of the New Left.

Class War Conservatism collects together his most significant political essays and shows the scope and brilliance of his thinking. Ranging from the critical anatomy of capitalism to a clear-eyed analysis of the future of socialism in Britain, this selection shows Miliband as an independent and prescient thinker of great insight. Throughout, his writing is a passionate and forcefully argued demand for social justice and a better future.
