Summary

Britain is a divided society and inequality is growing every day. This book is a shocking analysis of a country tearing itself apart and offers a radical blueprint for change. Stuart Weir argues that New Labor's retreat from the welfare state makes a new form of protection for social and economic well-being vital and proposes a Bill of Rights guaranteeing economic, social and political rights for everyone. Stuart Weir is an author, broadcaster, academic and former editor of the New Statesman.

Author Biography
