"Ideology" used to indicate something causing false consciousness in other parties while the speaker's movement remained free of its baneful influence. Now that is changing; politicians are beginning to speak of their own party as having an ideology. Beyond Politics shows that this change has not yet gone far enough, for the influence extends beyond political parties and movements. New edition incorporating author's unpublished annotations, additional rare and original materials. The masterwork of George Walford (1919-1994) and the finest introduction to his theory, systematic ideology.
