Why does nothing work in Britain?
It's harder than ever to get a GP appointment. Burglaries go unpunished. Rivers are overrun with sewage. Real wages have been stagnant for years, even as the cost of housing rises inexorably. Why is everything going wrong at the same time?
It's easy to blame dysfunctional politicians who are out for themselves. But, in reality, it's more complicated. Politicians can make things better or worse, but all work within our state institutions. And ours are utterly broken.
In Failed State, Sam Freedman, one of Britain's leading policy experts, offers a devastating analysis of where we've gone wrong. With historical depth and plenty of infuriating examples, he explains why British governance has fallen so far behind. Speaking to politicians of all stripes, civil servants and workers on the frontline, this book bursts with insight on the real problems that are so often hidden from the front pages. The result is a witty, landmark book that paves the way for a fairer and more prosperous Britain.
'We can only hope that every member of the new government will read and digest this book' - David Aaronovitch, BBC Radio 4 Presenter
'Brilliantly timed and frighteningly true' - Sir Anthony Seldon, bestselling author of Johnson at 10
