Ill Fares The Land, by Tony Judt

Ill Fares The Land Complaints from an old socialist about modern political life as people move away from social democratic consensus. Some good points but a lot of whingeing from someone that sounds uncomfortable at the changing of the generational guard. Also, no discussion whatsoever on how financially sustainable social democracy is, but at least a cogent criticism of identity politics & the part it's played in the current malaise. February 2013. 3/5.
