The right presents ‘solutions’ that only worsen the situation, driving a downward cycle in which desperation leads to despair. But the left is also to blame: progressive politicians have consistently failed to recognise both the urgency of people’s need and their receptiveness to new solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Act now, a team of leading researchers presents a compelling and achievable vision for a progressive future. They outline clear policies for welfare, health and social care, education, housing and more. Arguing for a rolling forwards of the state, they call for a new era of active citizenship and economic democracy, grounded in robust and resilient institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly a comprehensive and integrated approach, based on clear evidence of feasibility and popularity, can provide a pathway to the secure, democratic and prosperous Britain of tomorrow. This book is the blueprint. It calls on politicians, pundits and the British people to act now. -- .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Guisborough Bookshop Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49960770502992,"sku":"9781526180766","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0860\/4988\/2448\/files\/9781526180766_d129704c-ad5f-46bd-87a4-ef8453fbaf74.jpg?v=1765991827","url":"https:\/\/guisboroughbookshop.co.uk\/products\/9781526180766","provider":"guisboroughbookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
