Abstract:

The loss of a socialist vision in France is addressed from a Marxist perspective, focusing on how the French Socialist Party's particular ideology contributed to the demise of its radical politics. It is argued that the Party's power-based radicalism coupled with a Keynesian type of economic thinking helped undermine any serious socialist alternative. 16 References. AA
