Full Description

What if we had a government prepared to implement the policies that could radically change 21st-century Britain and improve people's lives?

In everyday language, Rethinking Britain presents a range of ideas from some of the country's most influential thinkers such as Kate Pickett and Ha-Joon Chang. From inflation to tax, and health to education, each contribution offers solutions which, if implemented, would lead to a fairer society.

This book is an essential aid for citizens who are interested in critiquing inequalities while looking to build a better future.
