Description: "The apparent success of a 'new' variant of social democracy has created considerable interest in the Third Way. This book synthesises a core economic strategy from the most significant Third Way administrations. It explores the theoretical foundations to Third Way economics, before evaluating its economic strategy against conclusions drawn from contemporary economics literature and the relative performance of contemporary left-of-centre governments. It additionally contrasts Third Way economics with more traditional social democratic economic policy in adapting to the challenges posed by today's economy."--Jacket.
