After 8 years as Prime Minister of Jamaica and nearly 10 in opposition  Michael Manelys politics have been tempered by experience. Having been responsible for many of the enormous gains of the seventies  including the much improved status of the common man and the expansion of opportunity and political consciousness  Manley has also experienced the wilderness years of opposition. He spent those years reflecting on his political views  and the Epilogue to The Politics of Change sets out how those views have changed to suit Jamaicas new circumstances. Manley discusses imperialism  human rights  education  productivity; his own attitude toward communism  socialism  and the menace of drugs. Above all  as Prime Minister  he points a new way forward for the Jamaican people with his characteristic honesty  passion and commitment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966680199221,"sku":"ByrdShop_0233965041","price":314.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780233965048.jpg?v=1770574189","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-politics-of-change-a-jamaican-testament","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
