Description
Book SynopsisThis text brings together leading experts, business leaders, entrepreneurs and politicians with ideas for how Britain can thrive in a global context, building an inclusive and broad-based economy.
Trade Review[Chuka Umunna] has gathered an impressive collection of business figures to contribute to this study of how globalisation and technology can go hand in hand with fairness. * The Daily Telegraph, 8/18/2014 *
Umunna’s introduction alone is well worth five minutes of your time. It offers a brisk but detailed overview of the deep structural challenges facing the British economy and the uncertainty they are creating for most people. The clarity and depth of his analysis – from the hollowing out of the middle class, to the challenge of increasing our productivity – is certainly impressive. * Progress, 8/19/2014 *
