Full Description
'Compelling and compassionate' Sadiq Khan
'Solutions-focused authorship at its best' Andrew Roberts
'A how-to book with inspired answers to our urgent questions' Lyse Doucet
'Read this book as an antidote to fatalism and gloom' Robert Peston
'Closely reported, surprising and, above all, hopeful' Jonathan Freedland
At a time when democracies seem paralyzed by fear and populations are turning inward, award-winning journalist John Kampfner travels to ten countries confronting our shared challenges with bravery and imagination.
- Taiwan's health system achieves 90% patient satisfaction at a fraction of the cost of the NHS.
- Moroccan solar panels in the Sahara produce enough clean energy to power two million homes.
- Estonia has transformed itself into a digital pioneer in a single generation - becoming the world's first fully digital government where 97.6% of citizens access state services online.
- Costa Rica has tripled its economy while doubling its forest cover, proving that green policies can pay direct dividends.
What unites these countries, and more, is a refusal to accept that difficult problems are unsolvable. The places showing true innovation are often those with their backs against the wall - not wealthy nations assuming they have all the answers. Braver New World is an urgent reminder that solutions exist. The question is whether we have the courage to learn.

'A thought-provoking read, full of real ideas that could make Britain a better place' Lindsey Hilsum
