Britain is broken: its economy hollowed out, unbalanced, and unable to provide good livelihoods for millions. We import too much, make too little, and keep wages low. Neoliberalism has failed to deliver the prosperity it promised; deregulation and privatisation have eroded our productive base and fractured communities.
This book puts forward a concrete, costed programme for real economic renewal: rebuilding the foundations of industry, expanding manufacturing, and lifting productivity through skilled work, investment, and domestic capability. This reindustrialisation strategy is a practical route to generating real wealth rather than recycling financial gains. To deliver it requires sovereignty to plan and invest, and democratic power to mobilise workers, skills, and institutions at the required scale. Strong rights at work, reskilling, and secure employment anchor the programme, supporting living standards, advancing Net Zero, and reducing the reliance on imported labour.
This bold intervention is a blueprint for a programme that can take the whole country forward in a united, inclusive endeavour. Anyone who wishes to be part of the democratic movement that will be needed to make this happen should read this book.
