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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526180759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Common Sense Policy Group,Kate Pickett,Richard Wilkinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52750093713589,"sku":"9781526180759","price":110.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/act-now-a-vision-for-a-better-future-and-a-new-social-contract-9781526180759","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
