Authors Florence Faucher-King and Patrick Le Gal鑚 argue that New Labour, in contrast to its European counterparts, developed a right-wing economic policy program based upon light financial regulation and strict macroeconomic management. Blair and Brown developed a large controlling bureaucracy, making Britain's government one of the most centralized in the world. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile some progressive policies were implemented, Faucher-King and Le Gal鑚 point to an overarching program of authoritative controls, massive surveillance, and illiberal social policies. Profound reforms were therefore linked to a new bureaucratic revolution that has subsequently been rejected by the British people. According to the authors, the financial crisis and the collapse of part of the banking system have signaled the end of the New Labour project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Florence Faucher-King, Patrick Le Gal駸\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080476235X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804762359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2010 pg. 172","brand":"Florence Faucher-King","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947220500735,"sku":"9780804762359","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d69f6d9e-b07e-4dbf-86da-c6152ec13a3a.jpg?v=1681517438","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-labour-experiment-florence-faucher-king-9780804762359","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
