Description

Britain in the 1950s had a distinctive political and intellectual climate. It was the age of Keynesianism, of welfare state consensus, incipient consumerism, and, to its detractors - the so-called Angry Young Men and the emergent New Left - a new age of complacency. While Prime Minister Harold Macmillan famously remarked that most of our people have never had it so good , the playwright John Osborne lamented that there aren't any good, brave causes left . Philosophers, political scientists, economists and historians embraced the supposed end of ideology and fetishized value-free technique and analysis. This turn is best understood in the context of the cultural Cold War in which ideology served as shorthand for Marxist, but it also drew on the rich resources and traditions of English empiricism and a Burkean scepticism about abstract theory in general. Ironically, cultural critics and historians such as Raymond Williams and E.P. Thompson showed at this time that the thick catalogue of English moral, aesthetic and social critique could also be put to altogether different purposes. Jim Smyth here shows that, despite being allergic to McCarthy-style vulgarity, British intellectuals in the 1950s operated within powerful Cold War paradigms all the same.
