The Decline of Working Class Politics is an examination of class politics, labour movements, and the changing nature of political organisation in post-war Britain. Writing from a Marxist and New Left perspective, Hindess critiques traditional assumptions surrounding working-class political identity and explores why established forms of labour politics appeared to be weakening during the late twentieth century.
