quote:Who are the Fabians?
quote:Originally posted by El Loro:
The Fabian Society was founded in 1884 as an intellectual Socialist think tank, based more on reformist methods rather than revolutionary. Prominent members in the early days included George Bernard Shaw and H G Wells.

Erm..Blondie the Fabian Society has been around for decades....
quote:The Fabian Society has played a central role for more than a century in the development of political ideas and public policy on the left of centre. Analysing the key challenges facing the UK and the rest of the industrialised world in a changing society and global economy, the society's programme aims to explore the political ideas and the policy reforms which will define progressive politics in the new century.
quote:This article argues that economic ideas were a fundamental shaping force for popular and avant-garde writers between 1900 and 1930 by giving an overview of three economic movements and connecting these ideas to literary experiments. The first section traces the impact of Fabian socialism's economic ideas on George Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells, and indicates a number of other Fabian writers. The second section describes the creation of an academic orthodoxy in economics, and then explores how Bloomsbury's intellectual climate produced the interrelated phenomena of Keynes's economics, Roger Fry's Omega Workshops, the Hogarth Press, and Virginia Woolf's literary innovation. The final section documents Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and Katherine Mansfield's involvement with the ideas of the radical economic journal, The New Age, and suggests connections between these ideas and the writersâ formal experiments. By tracing these intellectual networks, a number of historical connections between the economic problems of this period and the present emerge, indicating exciting directions for new research.
