Topic: Hilary Wainwright


  
  Life after capitalism
As Wainwright notes, much of the anger of the old 'new social movements'--those that grew out of the 1960s--was directed precisely at this authoritarian view implicit in large parts of the welfare state consensus, and the unconscious reliance of social democratic governments on the 'practical knowledge of those who manage the status quo'.
Wainwright's analysis of New Labour is sharp and to the point, but she does not apply it quite fully to her own examples, in which local activists rapidly become involved in government-backed regeneration schemes.
Wainwright is perhaps a little too uncritical here--not of sincere local residents, but of precisely the insidious New Labour rhetoric she earlier condemns.

 Books | Touched by the past
Hilary Wainwright, poet and intellectual, is enduring a grim wartime Christmas at his stiflingly suburban mother's house when a Frenchman, Pierre, turns up to give him news of the small son that he had to leave in occupied France.
You can even tell, from the care she has taken with the dialogue, that Hilary's speech has been translated from the kind of French an Englishman like him would speak, while his French interlocutors' dialogue has been translated from proper French.
She has got a certain kind of British intellectual down to a tee: selfish, timorous, hyper-sensitive, anxious, always dismayed at whatever has been suggested yet going along with it anyway, and ready to dismiss a friend on a point of political principle.

 Reclaim the State: Adventures in Popular Democracy - Hilary Wainwright
Hilary Wainwright, writer and longtime political activist, set out on a quest to find out how people are putting such concepts into practice locally and taking control over public power.
Her journey starts at home, in east Manchester, where local community groups are testing Tony Blair's commitment to 'community-led' regeneration by getting involved in the way government money is spent.
But there is more to anticapitalism than demonstrations: concepts like participatory democracy and economic solidarity form the heart of alternative but equally compelling visions.

As the tale unfolds we witness Wainwright’s growing relationship with a young boy who appears a likely, if uncertain, candidate for the role of the missing child.
A truly moving, yet never sentimental, relationship thus unfolds, in which Wainwright’s discovery of himself is quite as central to the novel as the more overt plot.

 Reclaim the State - Wainwright, Hilary - Sjakoo's catalog   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Wainwright contends that social democracy is weak, inefficient, bureaucratic and captive to the very business interests it is supposed to tame.
Echoing Friedrich Hayek's epistemological critique of state planning from the opposite ideological direction, she argues that social democracy imposes top-down social engineering that ignores the tacit, practical knowledge of ordinary people, and thus stifles the genius for self-government that resides in the masses.
These problems are structural defects of representative democracy, which reduces people to passive observers of a contest between political elites, and can be cured only by a participatory democracy that enlists them in the detailed formulation and implementation of government programs.
