Harold J. LaskiHarold Joseph Laski was an English political theorist and economist. He was born on June 30, 1893, and died on March 24, 1950. He was involved in politics. From 1945 to 1946, he was the chairman of the British Labour Party, and from 1926 to 1950, he aught at the London School of Economics. He first pushed for pluralism by talking about how important local voluntary groups like trade unions are. After 1930, he started talking more about the need for a workers' revolution, which he hinted might be violent. During the years before World War II, Laski was one of Britain's most influential intellectuals who spoke out for Marxism. His teaching, in particular, gave his students a lot of ideas, and some of them went on to lead the newly independent countries in Asia and Africa. He was probably the Labour Party's most famous intellectual, especially among people on the far left who shared his hope and trust in Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union. But the moderate Labour politicians in power at the time, like Prime Minister Clement Attlee, didn't trust him, so he never got a major government job or a peerage. Read More Read Less
