Reviews

A magnificent survey of a post-Thatcherite wasteland of financial gluttony, where shareholder value is worshipped above all else, public goods are squandered and inequality widens. Crucially, Hutton offers some richly innovative alternatives. His analysis burns with reasonable anger and brilliant hope
*Ian McEwan*

Will Hutton finds his clearest voice yet. The cities of London and Westminster should read and find a long lost humility. Everyone else may find hope
*Shami Chakrabarti, Director of Liberty*

Sweeps you off your feet with its hard-headed optimism, a vision of capitalism working for the many
*Avner Offer, Chichele Professor Emeritus of Economic History at Oxford, and Fellow of All Souls College*

Policymakers are searching for a big idea to wake the economy from its slumber, to shake it from its stagnation. We are in luck. Will Hutton has found one
*Andy Haldane, Chief Economist of the Bank of England*

Hutton is as persuasive, and as furious, as ever. He is angry, and it is hard not to be angry along with him
*Times Higher Education Supplement*

When the British left is so bereft of vision and so tentative about the modest ideas it does have, Hutton comes as a breath of fresh air . . . Hutton predicts a glorious future
*Guardian*

[Hutton] writes with passion, controlled anger, and a good deal of evidence about the ills that beset British society in the second decade of this century
*Lancet*

What New Labour lacked wasn't heart, it was ideas - and if the party is to win power again, it's going to need to listen to people like Will Hutton
*Independent on Sunday*
