\u201cThe British economy is no longer working for most people. This book brings together the best progressive thinkers, not tell to tell us what is wrong, but to explore the foundations of a new economy that works better for as many of us as possible. It\u2019s essential reading for everyone that wants equity, democracy and dynamism baked into a very different 21st century economy.\u201d Neal Lawson<\/strong>, Executive Director of Compass.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
