The Middle Way (book)
The Middle Way: A Study of the Problems of Economic and Social Progress in a Free and Democratic Society is a 1938 book on political philosophy written by Harold Macmillan, a British Conservative Party politician and later prime minister of the United Kingdom. It was originally published in 1938. It advocated a broadly centrist approach to the domestic and international problems of that time, and was written when Macmillan was Member of Parliament for Stockton-on-Tees but before he entered the Cabinet. He called for a programme of nationalisation at least as ambitious as then advocated by the Labour Party.
