Work in the grains laws of s.XIII[edit]

E. P. Thompson write a book about the Liberalization of the grain market in the 18th century, I will appreciate the name of the book. Milton (talk) 19:15, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Help needed on New Reasoner article[edit]

The New Reasoner article has no references and is self-contradictory, including on a point of E. P. Thompson's biography. I thought editors here might have good sources at their fingertips. Daask (talk) 13:17, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thompson and the New Left[edit]

Thompson's 1959 vision for a New Left quoted at New Left#United Kingdom is anti-authoritarian, skeptical of authority, and critical of the Soviet Union. The term "New Left" later became associated with promoting feminism, sexual liberation, and drug use while de-prioritizing or rejecting the labor movement and class struggle. Seen in this way, Thompson seems closer to the Old Left then the New Left. I don't have a source, so, for now, this is WP:OR. This reader was very surprised to see the following claim in this article: Thompson played a key role in the first New Left in Britain in the late 1950s. It's not wrong, but it does seem misleading or incomplete. Daask (talk) 13:34, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
