This Time No Mistakes by Will Hutton
Every thinking person knows that a great change is needed in our country. Will Hutton analyses how the left and right have gone wrong over the course of the last century and how we can remake a better Britain.
This Time No Mistakes is a brilliant book.. an intellectual, historical, political read with some strong themes... read it if you haven’t already. * Keir Starmer *
Represents the beginning of a new, urgent debate. The era that defined economics since the end of the Cold War is now giving way to more activist governments and a very different kind of globalisation, necessitating new economic strategies. At last we are beginning to discuss what they might look like. * New Statesman *
Here is a magisterial account of the past, present and let’s hope, the future of progressive politics in Britain. With fluency and profound understanding, the depth of Will Hutton’s passionate commitment to a more egalitarian society shines through every page. * Polly Toynbee *
Will Hutton has done it again… at a time of crisis and change here is a compelling account of how we got here and what needs to be done to move on…brilliantly evoked context combined with a credible but exciting and coherent vision for the future. A must read for all those who seek to make sense of the UK’s plight…and who dare to hope. * Steve Richards, author of The Prime Ministers *
Passionately argued, full of facts and insight, Will Hutton brilliantly diagnoses the British Disease of the 2020s and offers a convincing cure. A must read for anyone who thinks the UK can be better and do better than the mess we are in. * Gavin Esler, author of Britain Is Better Than This *
This is Will Hutton’s best book since The State We’re In. Given the state we’re in, it is by far his most important. * Andy Haldane *
Will Hutton is in towering form. This is a powerful indictment of the forces that have led us into deep economic failure and a social pit of inequity and division – and all caused by epic misgovernance and the deifying of individualism at the cost of the collective 'We'. Beautifully written, authoritative and rich in history, this timely book should be read by everyone who wants a better kind of Britain. * Baroness Helena Kennedy of the Shaws KC *
Eminently readable and hugely ambitious... energetic book full of bold proposals for reform * Literary Review *
Will Hutton’s new book is a good guide to the problems facing the UK as well as a range of potential solutions. It should be taken seriously as a potential roadmap for Labour * City A.M. *
PRAISE FOR WILL HUTTON: 'His optimism is unquenchable, his excitement exhilarating and his creativity awesome' * Observer *
OTHER REVIEWS: 'Passionately sane, rich in ideas, The State We're In breathes human sense back into economics and eloquently embodies the spirit of a new optimism' Ian McEwan 'When the British left is so bereft of vision and so tentative about the modest ideas it does have, Hutton comes as a breath of fresh air' Guardian 'A commendable effort: ambitious, passionate, imaginative, decent and thoughtful... Read the book: be inspired; be provoked; be annoyed' Financial Times * Financial Times *
Rightly argues that "What Britain now confronts is something much more profound and deep-rooted"... even though the opposition Labour party is forecast to win a huge majority, it has been extraordinarily timid. Hutton seeks to shake it out of its intellectual and political torpor * Financial Times *
