Summary

'Culture, ' wrote Raymond Williams, "is one of the most complicated words in the English language." Ironically, the most important British writer on culture in the post-war period is also one of the most poorly digested among today's readers. Originally conceived as the sequel to his 1961 The Long Revolution, Williams' 1983 title Towards 2000 has been unfairly classified as a period piece. With the permission of the Williams Estate, the book has been re-entitled A Short Counter-Revolution <U+0127> Towards 2000 Revisited, with noted Williams expert Jim McGuigan adding a chapter that updates the original with a survey of developments since its publication, particularly concerning the impact of neoliberalism, a phenomenon sighted early by Raymond Williams and named 'Plan X'.--, Provided by Publisher
