Book Synopsis
This book explores the way that social democracy makes sense of a new economic and social order based on knowledge.

Trade Review
"Excellently conceived and tightly focused, The Library and the Workshop is an original and illuminating analysis of the contemporary transformations of northern European social democracy in progress since the 1980s. It provides a sympathetic but telling explanation of what exactly the exponents of 'Third Way' politics think they are trying to achieve."—Geoff Eley, University of Michigan
"No serious scholar interested in social democratic 'modernization' can ignore this book. Where others have found 'betrayals' or 'necessary breaks', Jenny Andersson provocatively reveals the lineages of the Third Way in social democratic ideological traditions." -- Magnus Ryner * Oxford Brookes University *
