  November 1997 marks the anniversary of the birth of Aneurin Bevan. His philosophy, ideas and world view retain relevance today. In this text, left-wing political thinkers relate Bevan's thought to contemporary political realities. It questions whether Bevan was the last real British socialist, or was his vision of a developing society so far ahead of its time that it is only now becoming relevant. The essays included cover issues ranging from the arts to education by: Tessa Blackstone, Donald Bruce, Barbara Castle, Jill Craigie, Michael Foot, Geoffrey Goodman, Will Hutton, Dai Smith, Alan Watkins and Charles Webster.
