ABSTRACT
Tony Crosland was one of the leading British socialist thinkers of the post-Second World War years. He rose to fame as one of the leading ‘revisionist’ socialist thinkers within the Labour Party in the 1950s, giving his name to the ideology ‘Croslandism’, and he held a number of ministerial posts in the Labour governments of the 1960s and 1970s, most prominently, albeit briefly, that of Foreign Secretary.
