‘A realignment of the mind is based upon a sell out lecture delivered by Professor David Marquand on the 10 February 2011.

Professor Marquand argues that the contemporary crisis of capitalism is so profound that we have to draw upon all ideological currents and political traditions if we are to forge a new political settlement. He ends by calling for the formation of a new progressive movement to help bring about the fundamental change now required.

The publication also contains positive responses from the leader of the Labour Party, Rt. Hon Ed Miliband, leader of the Green Party Caroline Lucas MP, Dr Evan Harris and Professor Francesca Klug of the LSE.
