“The 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’s essential reading for everyone that wants equity, democracy and dynamism baked into a very different 21st century economy.” Neal Lawson, Executive Director of Compass.
The book was launched at an on line event on 19th May 2021 chaired by Miatta Fahnbulleh , CEO of the New Economics Foundation , with commentary by Shadow Business Secretary Ed Miliband and Martin Sandbu European Economics Correspondent of the FT . Presentations were made by PEF Chair Patrick Allen and chapter authors Robert Skidelsky , Kate Pickett , Will Hutton and Ann Pettifor.
