Opis

Like many Western nations, Britain faces extraordinary challenges in the twenty-first century, from the effects of climate change to growing inequality and the relentless pressures of the globalized economy. In the face of these issues, Rebuilding Britain asks a simple question: How can Britain organize itself, not just for survival, but in such a way that it can build a fairer, more sustainable society? Challenging a widespread air of defeatism in progressive politics, the authors offer an ambitious, hopeful, yet politically grounded view of the possibilities for a better Britain in the years to come.
