Hutton is probably Britain's best-known progressive voice of
economics and politics, and has strong views on what creating a
successful and thriving society demands. His book The State We're
In and its slim sequel, The State to Come, were bestsellers. As
both a popularizer and a serious commentator on the relationship
between economic and political thinking, his writings in The
Observer are followed by many. This collection of journalism
comments on a wide range of issues, and is something for the
serious follower of current events to dip into. (Kirkus UK)
For over a decade Will Hutton has been one of Britain's leading
progressive voices. He has been at the centre of every significant
economic and political debate that has reshaped and reimagined the
British centre-left: the mounting calls for a democratic
constitutional settlement, the criticisms of the short-termism of
the domestic and international financial systems, the idea of a
stakeholding society. In The State We're In he combined all three
in a passionate and powerful diagnosis of Britain's problems and
the possibility of a just and democratic renewal.
This collection brings together the full range of Hutton's work
as a journalist, pamphleteer and essayist, advocate and critic, and
shows the spectrum of issues with which he has engaged. Yet Hutton
has remained true to his best journalistic instincts. He has proved
to be not only an acute thinker but an engaged writer and effective
popularizer.
Brought together, his work over the last ten years represents
the emergence of a new politics and new political imagination in
Britain. Founded on a coherent critique of neo-liberal economic
orthodoxy and monetarist practice, and a sophisticated reassessment
of neo-Keynesianism, Hutton has put the politics back into
political economy. The case he makes for new economic institutions,
the regulation of global capital markets, the refounding of British
industry, has always been matched by the complementary requirements
of a new politics which is consensual, democratic, open and
innovative and which must be pursued as much in Brussels and the
regions and nations of the UK as at Westminster.
