Bell states the obvious, “Britain is a country in decline. It has been in decline for well over a decade”. In his book, he describes the symptoms of decline and traces the toxic combination from the inequality that began in the 1980s to the slow growth in the new century. Bell discusses the problems of working too much and working too little – Britain has both these problems. Bell also focusses on the housing problem that has emerged and will only grow bigger if nothing is done. This book is timely because it was published just before the July 2024 general elections that has just seen Labour winning by a landslide.
In projecting hope in the future, Bell warns against the “zero-sum” trap – the belief that gains for one group will only come at the expense of another. He is hoping for a “Team Britain”. His vision is spelt out in his chapter, “A Future Reclaimed”. A down payment by way of investing wisely on those with lower income is needed, but this is a long investment. The new government may find useful insight here.
