Abstract
These two roundtable discussions hosted by the Marx Memorial Library in May and December 2021 examine Britain’s uniquely centralised capitalist state system during a year of rapid change — when previously devolved economic powers were returned from the European Union to Westminster at the expense of democratic legislatures in Scotland and Wales and potentially England’s regions. The year also saw the initial launch of the Conservative government’s ‘levelling up’ programme, also a largely centrally driven initiative. The discussions, the first in May and the second in December, considered the significance, for a wider agenda of socialist change, of developing movements for ‘radical’ or ‘progressive’ federalism across the regions and nations of Britain to challenge this centralisation.
