The Return of the State
This book offers both a vision of a future Britain and a roadmap to getting there. Pushed by crisis, the government has borrowed massively to save jobs, businesses and the economy from collapse, making a mockery of the austerity policies that it had vocally championed for a decade - policies that undoubtedly created a divided country and precipitated a Brexit vote that has since consumed parliament and stymied social progress.The role of the state is now in sharp focus: the contributors to this book assesses what that role should be and how it should be It is now clear that the Covid-19 pandemic hit the UK harder than other countries in Europe not least because of the government's ill-timed and ill-conceived response, but also because of the chronic failure of the state to fund public services adequately and to reduce societal inequality in the neoliberal decades since 1979.
