This interdisciplinary collection offers a reckoning of the New Labour decade. As such, it has four central research questions: What is the nature of this remoralizing? What are its sources? How effective has it been and what difference has this moral discourse made? What can be learned from Blairism about the relationship between faith, morals and governance? Book jacket.
