Ben Jackson is University Lecturer in Modern History at Oxford University and a Fellowof University College. He was an undergraduate at Cambridge and a graduate student at

Harvard, Essex, and Oxford, where he was awarded his DPhil in 2004. His researchmainly focuses on the history of modern Britain, with particular interests in political

thought, labour history, and the history of economic and social policy. His initial research which emerged from his doctoral work investigated the political thought of the British

Left during the rise of social democracy (c.1900-64), focusing on the history of theegalitarian ideals that define the political identity of the Left in Britain. Having completed

this work, he has now begun to examine how social democratic ideology was challengedand ultimately submerged in later political discourse by the emergence of the neo-liberal

right. He is currently writing about the intellectual history of neo-liberalism, especiallythe international development of neo-liberal political and economic ideas between the

1930s and the 1960s. He is also working on the reception of these ideas in British politicsin the 1960s and 1970s and on the history of Thatcherism.
