Michael Kidron
|
1930 – 2003
Michael Kidron was a leading theoretician of the British Socialist Review Group and its successor, the International Socialists, from the mid-1950s, when he joined the group, until the mid-1970s, when he dropped out of active politics. In particular he developed the theory of the Permanent Arms Economy as an explanation of the long post-war boom. Another important contribution was a critique of Lenin’s Imperialism, or rather of the way it was (and is) interpreted by many socialists. He was later managing editor of Pluto Press, one of the most influential socialist imprints in Britain.
