"David Marquand traces the growth of the public domain from Gladstone to Attlee, analyses the forces that began to undermine it in its post-war heyday and exposes the campaign that the Thatcher and Blair governments have waged against it. He ends with a call for a counter-attack, based on a restatement of the civic ideal in a twenty-first-century idiom." "This book will appeal to all those who take an interest in current political events as well as those studying politics and social policy."--BOOK JACKET.
