THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERThe essential blueprint for a better future, from the leading economist and Labour rising star‘Stellar: brilliant, incredibly pragmatic’ Rory Stewart‘No one has done more to re-inject sanity into our national policy’ Emily Maitlis'Everyone should read this book if they care about our country' Tom BaldwinGreat Britain? is 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. In this treasure trove of enlightening and original analysis, 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.
