In this provocative new book, Peter Latham argues that the UK
Conservative Government's devolution agenda conceals their real
intention: to complete the privatisation of local government and
other public services. Using illustrative examples from across the
UK, including the so-called 'Northern Powerhouse' and the Midlands,
the book explains the far-reaching implications of the
reorganisation of local government that is already affecting vital
public services, including education, health, housing and policing.
Proposing an overhaul of the taxation system to include land value
taxation, a wealth tax and more progressive income tax to fund an
increase in directly provided services, the author argues that a
new basis for federal, regional and local democracy is vital.
