  Zygmunt Bauman puts forward some foundational principles for a socialist politics; Michael Rustin argues for the enduring relevance of the ideas of Raymond Williams; and Kate Soper proposes new forms of hedonism. David Purdy discusses a strategic approach to Citizen's Income, showing how it could help to solve some of the economic and distributive problems inherent in a steady-state economy, and also play a role in a wider project to change popular views on the nature of work and pleasure. James Marriott presents new ways of mapping business connections, and Patrick Curry argues compellingly that ecological concerns should be at the heart of left politics. The issue also includes Michael Kenny on the Compass programme for renewal; Elisabeth Beck-Gernsheim on individualisation and family lives; Priscilla Alderson on childhood and the economy; Jacky Law and Anna Coote on the future of health politics; and Stewart Lansley on the rich.
