Publisher's Synopsis
We are living through a crisis of capitalism. It is clear after the 20th century that without capitalism there is no economic dynamism and top down state control does not work: but equally without careful design of capitalist markets and institutions it quickly degrades into rent seeking, profiteering, short cuts and exploitation that can overwhelm it. In 'How Good Can We Be', Will Hutton's eye-opening arguments will show us how, with pride, purpose and openness, the country can be rebuilt.
