The Third Way is the political philosophy of Tony Blair and New Labour in Britain, Bill Clinton in the United States, and Gerhard Schröder in Germany.

Callinicos develops a fundamental critique of this philosophy, arguing that Third Way governments have continued the neoliberal policies of their conservative predecessors, allowing social and economic inequality to continue growing.
