A magnificent survey of a post-Thatcherite wasteland of financial
gluttony, where shareholder value is worshipped above all else,
public goods are squandered and inequality widens. Crucially,
Hutton offers some richly innovative alternatives. His analysis
burns with reasonable anger and brilliant hope
*Ian McEwan*
Will Hutton finds his clearest voice yet. The cities of London and

capitalism working for the many

its slumber, to shake it from its stagnation. We are in luck. Will

Hutton is as persuasive, and as furious, as ever. He is angry, and
it is hard not to be angry along with him

the modest ideas it does have, Hutton comes as a breath of fresh
air . . . Hutton predicts a glorious future
*Guardian*
[Hutton] writes with passion, controlled anger, and a good deal of
evidence about the ills that beset British society in the second
decade of this century
