It is unflinching in its diagnosis of the problems we face, and which ones really matter to people’s lives. But it also has practical ideas for ways to make things better, and examples of ways to make really tangible progress for the next government. Very readable and accessible as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent diagnosis *by C***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 5, 2024* This book came out shortly before its author was elected as an MP in the Labour landslide. Bell has been an influential thinker on the left for a number of years, so this is well worth a read.For me, the first half of the book was better than the second. He is upfront about the decline that Britain finds itself in. This is not a new phenomenon, that's been growing for decades. But the refusal to confront or even accept it is one of the critical factors. Our politicians and media have been in denial about what's happening. Perhaps that will start to change.His analysis of what's happened to housing, the economy, education etc etc makes sobering reading. And some of it is fascinating. There is a narrative that "we don't make things anymore", but we do - just different things. The Scotch whisky industry is a massive success story, as are the creative industries (video games, movies).The main thing that becomes apparent is the fissure between the young and the older generations. Things are so much harder for them than they were for my generation (I'm in my 50s) or my parents.The potential solutions are less satisfying. Some of it is obvious - we need to build more homes, we need to be less short termist, we need to invest much, much more in the long term. The short termism of the stock market and investors is driving short term profit chasing rather than long term benefits. But it's not exactly the clear vision and set of solutions I was hoping for.So it's worth a read, but I'm not sure it quite sets out "how we get our future back" ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy and informative for non-economists *by P***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 20, 2024* This basically answers all the discussions that you might have had with colleagues and friends as to why average young to middle aged people's living standards (ours in this case!) are in long-term decline in the UK. Compares with other OECD countries (which is quite depressing). And then suggests practical remedies for reversing this trend. Fascinating read. Until it's laid out in bare facts how much we have lost compared to other countries you don't realise how awful the last 15 years has been. Have already got someone who wants to borrow it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/677679779-great-britain-how-we-get-our-future-back](https://www.desertcart.be/products/677679779-great-britain-how-we-get-our-future-back) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
