Full Description
After
fourteen years of Conservative government - combined with Brexit, a global
pandemic, the rise of a populist far right and the existential threat of
climate change - many see Britain as undergoing serious social, economic and
cultural decline. This is the context in which Labour have taken office at
Westminster after a decade and a half in opposition. With recent ways of doing
politics, government and statecraft in crisis, how can a serious, humane
alternative emerge? What scale and type of change is coming, and will it be for
the better?
All this
raises serious questions about the future of the UK and its constituent nations,
Labour's ability to govern progressively, and the incoming government's confidence
and capacity to take on the entrenched vested interests of present-day Britain
while also having an honest, mature conversation with the public and its own
supporters about the nature of these challenges.
In Britain
Needs Change, some of our best thinkers and commentators dissect the challenges
facing the new government in a series of wide-ranging, penetrative essays.
Featuring contributions from Helena Kennedy, John Curtice, Mariana Mazzucato, Neal
Lawson, Aditya Chakrabortty, Ann Pettifor, Gavin Esler, Hilary Cottam, Sunder Katwala,
Savitri Hensman, Fintan O'Toole and Andrew Gamble among others, this is required
reading for anyone interested in the future of our country.
