Book Overview
New Britain presents Tony Blair on all the major debates of British public life: from nationalized health care to crime prevention, from the welfare state to monetary policy, from religion to family values, from individualism to isolationism, from taxation to trade unions, from NATO to Northern Ireland, from community rebirth to economic growth. After seventeen years of Conservative Party rule under Margaret Thatcher and John Major, a change in Great Britain's leadership appears imminent. In Blair's Stakeholder Nation, government works in partnership with private and voluntary sectors to harness the power of the market to serve the public interest. In New Britain, we read in Blair's own articulate words how to improve the standard of living of all Britain's families; how to base a new social order on merit, commitment, and inclusion; how to decentralize British institutions of political power; and how to expand Britain's leadership in foreign affairs.

An outstanding account of Political Ideas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Prime Minister Blair, a great leader who not so long ago mesmerised the entire Britain, the Europe and the America. And who is capable, as yet, to lead the people to the political climax of ecstasy with his words, with his ideas, is a legendary figure of our époque yet to be discovered. His book is an outstanding account of Political Science; the transformation of power to the new World. I see it necessary for all académicien and scholars.
Good Book on British Politics Today

Blair's book is a wonderful insight into British politics. He talks a lot about where he sees England going under his leadership. This book is a must read for anglophiles!
