Description

Publisher synopsis

In this treasure trove of enlightening and original analysis, leading economist 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

There are few who are better placed to investigate Britain’s plight than Bell, newly elected Labour MP for Swansea West and former Chief Executive of the Resolution Foundation. In Great Britain? he offers 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. This is a book bursting with ideas and infectious hope.
