Equality of Opportunity

Chapter 3 in Crosland’s Future, 1997, pp 56-107 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The definition of socialism, Crosland warned, is a kaleidoscope of heterogeneities. Divided by their theories and separated by their solutions, different socialists have championed different ends and recommended different means. Different times, different places, different personalities, different ideologies - plurality means diversity to an extent that any single definition must necessarily fail to reflect: ‘There is therefore no point in searching the encyclopaedias for a definitive meaning; it has none, and never could.’1 Socialism is what socialists teach. Different socialists teach different things.
