Things have not been going Great for Britain. Wages are flatlining, taxes are rising, and public services are collapsing. Our children can't afford to buy a house and our neighbours are reliant on foodbanks. We are all yearning for a way out of the financial crises, generational wars and political dysfunction that dominate our lives. Most of all we want our - and Britain's - future back. Torsten Bell offers both a clear-eyed diagnosis of the problems facing the country - a uniquely toxic combination of huge inequality and stagnant economic growth - and a hopeful, bold vision for the alternative. As he shows, the Britain of today contains the raw materials to build a better Britain tomorrow - an investment nation of good work and secure homes, and a society in which both burdens and prosperity are shared.
