Synopsis

How can we ensure a fair and sustainable economic recovery post-pandemic?

Bringing together policy proposals from some of the brightest and most-engaged thinkers in the UK, this book presents both a vision of a future Britain and a roadmap to getting there.

Pushed by the Covid-19 crisis, the UK government has borrowed massively to save jobs, businesses and the economy from collapse, making a mockery of the austerity policies that it had championed for a decade. As a result, the role of the state is now in sharp focus. This book calls for nothing short of a new settlement and a complete redesign of the economy. Contributors argue passionately and persuasively for a state that is properly funded, one that looks after its citizens regardless of age, class or ethnicity and enables them to live well. To do this requires the establishment of a functional, fair and green economy managed with a social and public purpose.

Includes chapters from Will Hutton, Robert Skidelsky, Kate Pickett, Richard Wilkinson, Danny Dorling, Ann Pettifor and Guy Standing.
