  New Statesman - Exciting friend
Anthony Crosland died in February 1977, at the age of 58, from a stroke while still en poste as foreign secretary.
It was the great merit of Susan Crosland's unorthodox biographical study of her husband (published within five years of his death) that she brought this out and, by concentrating on his personal rather than public life, fully developed it.
Crosland was, above all, the disciple whom Gaitskell loved - and it was this feeling of near-homosexual affection for him on the part of his leader that gave him his jump-start over most of his contemporaries.

 Anthony Crosland Information
Charles Anthony Raven Crosland (29 August 1918 19 February 1977) was a British politician and Labour member of Parliament — as well as being a socialist theorist.
Crosland wrote the book The Future Of Socialism in 1956 in which he outlined the need for traditional socialism to adapt to modern circumstances — a context from which the use of the term "revisionism" has its origins in Britain, despite the gradualism associated with the Fabian Society since the end of the nineteenth century.
Crosland returned to the House of Commons in 1959 for the Grimsby constituency, which he would represent for the rest of his life.

 IMPOLITIC POLITICIAN - New York Times
Crosland went on to be a Cabinet minister in the Labor Government of 1964-70, and from 1974 until his sudden death in 1977 he was Foreign Secretary.
Crosland was a noticeably goodlooking fellow, big and strapping, with the swagger that came from his wartime service as a captain in the paratroops and all the intellectual and social confidence of an Oxford don.
When she reaches the point in Crosland's life where he meets her, his wife goes back and tells the story of her life until then, economically but in such a way as to make it plain that she intends the reader to treat her as an equal partner in the story.

Crosland declared that full employment could be easily achieved and maintained by judicious and timely expansion of domestic demand, that is, by that 'continuing mild inflation' that he and other moderates consider tolerable or even beneficial.
Crosland was by no means the first to define the ambitions of a moderate social democracy.
Crosland's interest in a more 'modern' Britain is defended in its own right and is not merely a rhetorical extension of his social democratic commitments, although much of the book represents an attempt to connect the two themes in a manner that could appeal to a broad swathe of public opinion.

 Anthony Crosland by Kevin Jefferys : Politicos Bookshop, the home of political books online
Anthony Crosland was one of the most fascinating and important figures in British politics since the war.
It was widely assumed that Crosland would go on to become Chancellor and mount a serious bid for the party leadership.
The author presents Crosland not, as some have, as a "machine for the production of ideas", but as a complex, outspoken figure responding to changing personal and political circumstances; a man who was immensely attractive to his admirers but arrogant and flawed in the eyes of his critics.

 The Observer | Comment | Would Crosland feel betrayed by Blair and Brown?
Redistribution, Crosland argued, was easier and less painful with a large and growing national cake than with a small one.
I myself edited a book, Crosland and New Labour (Macmillan), a year or two later, in which the topic was discussed by a range of authors, including the Chancellor, Gordon Brown, a self-proclaimed disciple.
Crosland never believed in 'penal' levels of taxation for higher incomes, which he believed were, at a standard rate of 35 per cent and a maximum of 83 per cent on earned incomes, already close to the level where their disincentive effects would outweigh the revenue-raising and redistributive benefits.

 From Bernstein to Blair: one hundred years of revisionism
Crosland was a senior minister in two Labour governments, from 1964 to 1970 and from 1974 until his death in 1977.
Crosland's 1950s revisionism had been based on the belief that government intervention could easily ward off slumps and redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor.
The tone could hardly be more different from that of Bernstein and Crosland, with their insistence that crises and impoverishment were increasingly a thing of the past and that nothing could stop the forward march of liberal democracy, prosperity and security.

The vagueness of the term is such that it is easy to imagine a substitute, whether the obvious "middle way", or the "way of the centre" or the truly all-encompassing "modern way".
The Third Way is, as Giddens and Marquand imply, the latest stage in the adaptation of this social democratic tradition of thinking to the conditions of modern capitalism.
In contrast to the previous important phase in this process - the articulation of Anthony Crosland's views on the Future of Socialism in the 1950s, and the parallel debates about the End of Ideology in the United States - the debate about the Third Way is typified by a sloppiness of writing and thinking.
