Bankrupt Britain

Reviews / Votes

"Danny Dorling and Bethan Thomas pull no punches in this tour de force of social commentary. Alongside a series of striking maps, charts and meticulous statistics, their incisive text reveals a society torn apart by inequality and the damage caused to the vast majority of us by the moral bankruptcy of the rich and powerful." Kate Pickett, Professor of Epidemiology, University of York, co-author of The Spirit Level, and co-founder of The Equality Trust "Britain is experiencing an economic recession - what Bankrupt Britain shows is the social recession that millions of our people are enduring. We have to know how and why Britain is broke before we can fix it, Thomas and Dorling achieve that invaluable task with depth and style." Neal Lawson, Chair of Compass
