Will Hutton - This Time No Mistakes- How to Remake Britain

Every thinking person knows that a great change is needed in our country.

Will Hutton's passionate book shows how the right and left have gone wrong over the course of the last century – and how we can remake a better Britain. Britain's inability to invest in itself is at the heart of our problems. The malevolent thread linking the grievous errors of the last forty-five years is the attempt to create the utopia of free markets and a minimal state. The terrible consequences scar our country today. We need an alternative economic and political philosophy, especially if we are to ward off a nihilist populism. Two great traditions – ethical socialism and progressive liberalism – can be brought together to offer a different way forward.

Hutton's proposals are inspiring and rooted in values held by the overwhelming majority of us. Above all, they are achievable.
