Abstract

Relying heavily on its financial services, the British economy has been one of the hardest hit in Europe by the collapse of the banking industry. The credit crunch, aggravated by the bursting of a decade-old house price bubble, has taken a severe toll on the economy. For many commentators, the banking crisis of 2008 marked the end of New Labour economics. The Keynesian style reaction to the crisis by the Brown government and, subsequently, the election of a new leader eager to turn the page on the New Labour era seem to have opened up the possibility for a renewal of ideas and policy in the Labour ranks. Now in opposition, the Labour party has a chance to reflect on the meaning of the crisis. The current situation also offers an opportunity to seek an explanation for the financial meltdown and assess New Labour’s responsibility in the debacle.
