Dave Morland teaches sociology and philosophy at the University of Teesside. He has campaigned on issues such as the poll tax, the miners’ strike, nuclear arms and anti-capitalism.
Anti-Capitalist Britain is a collection of accessible and informative essays on the emerging anti-capitalist movement in the UK.Through accounts of recent anti-capitalist protests and organizations, often by those involved, the book considers the current state of radical politics in the UK. Its underlying theme is the emerging relationship between Marxist and other radical organizations and the disparate anti-globalization, anti-capitalist and direct action groups fronting campaigns against institutions such as the World Trade Organization and the G8.The study argues that there has been a shift towards anarchism on the British left and elsewhere.While it has a primarily domestic focus, the book also considers British anti-capitalism in an international context. It therefore includes contributions from authors whose focus is beyond the domestic and who participate in wider campaigns.

ANTI-CAPITALIST BRITAIN
EDITED BY JOHN CARTER
EDITED BY
JOHN CARTER AND DAVE MORLAND
Anti-Capitalist Britain is an account of the state of left and radical politics in the UK, delivered through a study of recent anti-capitalist protests and movements.The book is a collaborative project involving writers from various universities in the UK and recent participants in anti-capitalist actions. The introduction examines the origins of the current protest movement and its re-emergence from the ‘Victory of the West’ and the free market. Caroline Lucas and Colin Hines then critique the dominant neoliberal version of globalization from a green and localist perspective.This analysis is complemented by the work of Molly Scott Cato, who explores positive and sustainable alternatives to capitalism and the free market. Amir Saeed also takes the new geopolitics as his starting point, examining the difficulties created for Asian Britons after 9/11 and the subsequent ‘War on Terror’. Other contributors consider the different forms of protest and activism in current anti-capitalist and green politics. John Carter and Dave Morland’s overview of the UK anti-capitalist scene detects an emerging shift towards a more libertarian mode of struggle. One source of this is set out in Derek Wall’s account of the Russian theorist Mikhail Bakhtin, whose theories loom large in the ongoing Carnival against Capitalism. Jon Purkis focuses on the role of anticonsumerist campaigns, finding echoes of radical movements from the English Civil War period. Paul Taylor examines the creative ways in which electronic ‘hacktivists’ have undermined corporations and the powerful. How all this diversity and seeming fragmentation produces a functioning ‘movement’ is the concern of Alex Plows, who explores the way in which groupings, communities and individuals have supported each other through fluid activist networks.The book concludes with a vibrant account of the Anti-G8 mobilization in Genoa, written by one of the participants.

DAVID STACK
Darwinism and socialism were the two most exciting ideas of the late nineteenth century. One tore down a model of nature that was static and unchanging; the other sought to do the same for society. Almost inevitably the ideas of Darwinism and socialism became intertwined in the period from 1859 to 1914.The modern socialist movement was a product of the Darwinian age and most leading socialists of the period had studied and accepted Darwinism before reaching their political maturity.This was true of socialists both in Britain and beyond – including Annie Besant, Ramsay MacDonald, Eduard Bernstein, Karl Kautsky, Jack London and Prince Peter Kropotkin. Each inevitably carried something of their Darwinism over into their understanding of socialism. In this study of the relationship between the two ideas, David Stack argues that the contribution of Darwinism to the thought of the British left has been underestimated. Darwinism played a crucially important role both in the shift from radicalism to socialism that occurred in the late nineteenth century and in enabling MacDonald and others to develop a distinctive socialist position, marked off from liberalism to the right and Marxism to the left.

David Stack is a lecturer in Modern British History at the University of Reading. He has previously taught at Queen Mary, University of London and Keele University, and has written widely on both the history of the left and popular science in the nineteenth century. His first book, Nature and Artifice: The life and thought of Thomas Hodgskin, 1787–1869, was published by the Royal Historical Society in 1998 and he is currently writing a biography of the nineteenth-century Scottish phrenologist George Combe.

THE FIRST DARWINIAN LEFT SOCIALISM A N D DA RW I N I S M 1859–1914
In this first study of the relationship between Darwinism and the left in Britain, David Stack argues that Darwinism provided the ‘constitutive metaphor’ within which modern socialism was developed.The organic and evolutionary language of Darwinism, it is shown, provided the discursive space in which the new ideology of socialism was probed, explored and developed in the period from 1859 through to 1914. The relationship between socialism and Darwinism was not instrumental – with socialists simply picking and choosing convenient ideas to conform to their political prejudices – but isomorphic, involving a real cross-fertilization of ideas and concepts from the biological to the sociological and back again.This process was especially evident in writings of those socialists such as Alfred Russel Wallace, Emile Vandervelde and Prince Peter Kropotkin who were also accomplished scientists, but also helps us better appreciate the stance of amateur enthusiasts such as Annie Besant, Jack London and Ramsay MacDonald.
DAVID STACK
The First Darwinian Left demonstrates how the discursive boundaries imposed by Darwinism profoundly influenced the construction of socialist ideology in Britain: marking it off from the older radical tradition, as well as distinguishing it from liberalism on the right and Marxism on the left. In particular, the crucial role of Ramsay MacDonald in developing and disseminating a distinctively Darwinian understanding of socialism among the membership of the Independent Labour Party is analysed.

The Nordic countries remain unique in independently managing and operating their health care complaints mechanisms and medical regulatory bodies. They are also almost on their own in having established statutory no-fault patient compensation schemes as an alternative to the potentially expensive and risky civil litigation route. Moreover, these same nations (Sweden excepted) are among the few on the planet where sweeping patients’ rights set in stone are in place. Sadly, the enlightened example long set by lawmakers in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Iceland on all these issues is still not being matched by their counterparts in the United Kingdom – or, for that matter, anywhere else in Europe. For instance, ‘more’ rather than total independence is the theme of the latest British reforms following the sustained public excoriation of the previous health care complaints and medical regulatory systems – in particular the routinely inequitable outcomes they produced for complainants. Self-regulation continues to be the predominant force in the operation of these new procedures. As before, only a comparatively small proportion of complaints lodged with the National Health Service in the UK will receive the attention of the recently established independent review bodies – where these have been set up. Furthermore, regulation of doctors and nurses remains in the hands of their existing, albeit extensively reformed, regulatory bodies under whose patronage the consideration of allegations about these professionals is also being maintained. The position about patients’ rights in the United Kingdom is nowhere near so contrasting. Nonetheless, instead of a specific set of comprehensive legal entitlements the interests of patients and those who attend to their clinical needs are provided for, collectively, via legislation, case law, set ethical criteria and health service policy rules. However, the proposals for a patient compensation and redress scheme as an alternative to the existing system of civil damages is a big step in the right direction – even if, initially, it turns out to be a comparatively limited arrangement and then not of the all-encompassing, no-fault variety.
In the process of examining the subject at hand, the book accepts that healthcare is not the only part of public life in Britain where self-regulation still prevails, and provides examples of the practice elsewhere in society. Perhaps, foremost among these cases of institutional self-regulation is that relating to the British parliament itself, the body that holds the key to enlightened public reform in all its guises. Fair play and foul? may not be a good read in the accepted sense, but if it succeeds in helping to bring forward the day when British citizens are conferred with the same level of entitlements in their relationship with health care that their counterparts in certain other European societies take for granted, it will have achieved its end.

Fair play and foul? examines all these issues in some detail and also focuses on an area that had not been in the limelight before or during the reforms that began to take effect in Britain since the turn of the century. It seems to have always been assumed that the Health Service Ombudsman is above reproach. But is this really justified? The book explores vital aspects of the organization that this key independent complaints arbiter fronts in a way that has not been done before and raises matters that question the body’s seemingly high standing.
