Great Britain?

Description

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

The essential blueprint for a better future, from the leading economist and Labour rising star

‘Stellar: brilliant, incredibly pragmatic’ Rory Stewart
‘No one has done more to re-inject sanity into our national policy’ Emily Maitlis
‘Everyone should read this book if they care about our country’ Tom Baldwin

Great Britain? is both a clear-eyed diagnosis of the problems facing our country – a uniquely toxic combination of huge inequality and stagnant economic growth – and a bold vision for the alternative.

In this treasure trove of enlightening and original analysis, Torsten Bell argues that our era of chaos and cynicism needs neither utopianism nor nostalgia, but a practical patriotism to raise living standards and create a more equal country. This is a book bursting with ideas and infectious hope: Bell passionately points us towards a Britain that we can actually build – a future worth fighting for.
