There are few who are better placed to investigate Britain's plight than Torsten Bell,
former Chief Executive of the Resolution Foundation and current Labour candidate for Swansea West.




In Great Britain, he offers both a clear-eyed diagnosis of the problems facing our country – a uniquely toxic combination of huge inequality and stagnant economic growth – and a bold vision for the alternative. This is a book bursting with ideas and well-reasoned, infectious hope.




In his treasure trove of enlightening and original analysis, Torsten Bell argues that our era of chaos and cynicism needs neither utopianism nor nostalgia, but a practical patriotism to raise living standards and create a more equal country. He passionately points us towards a Britain that we can actually build – a future worth fighting for.
