The most explosive analysis of British society to have been published for over thirty years, now updated and revised.
This is a book of political economy. It has economics and the economy at its heart, but attempts to link them to the wider operation of the social and political system. The central economic argument is that the weakness of the British economy, particularly the level and character of investment, originates in the financial system. The political argument is that the semi-modern nature of the British state is a fundamental cause of Britain's economic and social problems.
Hutton has created an impassioned and passionately cogent critique of New Right policy, and breathes sense back into economics and eloquently embodies the spirit of a new optimism.
