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 \u003ci\u003eThe State We''re In\u003c\/i\u003e he combined all three in a passionate and powerful diagnosis of Britain''s problems and the possibility of a just and democratic renewal.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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.
