At a time of profound economic uncertainty, five rising stars of the Conservative party provide a powerful vision for a resurgent Britain Britannia Unchained argues that Britain needs to abandon pride to learn from other countries to achieve success. It puts Britain firmly within the context of international competition, particularly with emerging economies. Britain is often cited as a classic example of a declining power and yet Britain in the 21st century still possesses immense advantages: the English language, an excellent higher education, the most excellent financial sector in the world, and a convenient time zone. While many commentators forecast the decline of the West, while the Asian Tigers are the future, Britannia Unchained provides a persuasive and compelling route-map to an alternative future where through the right approach to education, the economy and a just and fair society, Britain can lead the world once more.

Interesting but terribly dated

Revisado en Francia el 25 de mayo de 2023

Compra verificada

I bought this book in 2023 when the authors - "rising stars" of the Conservative Party of 2012 - had fallen in disgrace. I was hoping that it might give me some insight into the reasoning behind BREXIT. It doesn’t.

I found it to be an interesting collection of facts and snippets of information from around the world to serve as examples for Britain’s future conduct. “Austerity” is not mentioned but it’s what comes to mind.

There is hardly any mention of Europe and certainly not of BREXIT. I found some examples of the authors recent actions being directly against what is written in the book:

• Foreign fruit-pickers in English farms lauded as exemplary workers compared with British unemployed who don't want to do such a physical job next to foreigners. Then Priti Patel aggressively shuts them out and ruins the farmers
• Don’t let optimism run ahead of caution. Then Kwasi Kwarteng and Liz Truss ruin the economy with the "mini Budget"
• Improve education. Then step out of the Erasmus scheme that allows students to travel to other countries and widen their experience

The front cover includes a quote “…The path is clear. We have to be brave enough to take it”. Well – the authors didn’t take it. I wonder what happened.

Mostly drivel but at least it's optimistic drivel

Revisado en Reino Unido el 14 de diciembre de 2020

Like other reviewers, I thought I should have a go at this 'iconic' book, supposedly a manifesto of far-right evil which will turn the UK into a Singapore. Published in 2012 it's obviously very dated in places. The chapter on finance and debt contains a predictable narrative of blame for Labour overspending and of justification for austerity. Lots of ignorant rubbish about 'paying down the debt' (national debt is never 'paid down'). Brazil is lionised as having overtaken the UK as the sixth largest economy in the world. I see it has slipped down the league table and the UK is still at the No. 6 slot. The book is a kind of grab bag of economic and cultural examples from around the globe with very little depth of analysis and a great deal of cliché-ridden prose. About the only thing positive to say for it is that we could do with a more optimistic and less defeatist culture and no doubt we can and should learn from other countries. After 4 years of Brexit civil war followed by the 2020 Covid battering God knows we need it. Maybe 2021 will be the beginning of our longed-for renaissance as we leave the EU with some kind of deal, we all get vaccinated, and Boris or his successor can get the economy moving again. Does it matter that the authors are now in government? Well, at least Liz Truss has secured 57 trade deals worth nearly £200bn, Dominic Raab declined to follow Keir Starmer's BLM genuflection, and Priti Patel has increased compensation for those affected by the Windrush scandal. But let's hope the authors' political beliefs and policy prescriptions have matured in response to the convulsions of the last eight years and the conditional loan of Red Wall votes in 2019. A more up to date version of the overall theme is "The Wake-Up Call: Why the pandemic has exposed the weakness of the West - and how to fix it" by Adrian Wooldridge and John Micklethwait.

The authors need a reality check

Revisado en Alemania el 17 de marzo de 2022

Compra verificada

I found this book rather irritating. It purports to put forward an exciting vision of the future which will see a resurgent Britannia soaring to a world leading position. It becomes clear early in the book that the authors equate working longer with being more productive. There is no evidence that they understand the links between productivity and well-being, in fact they demonstrate the opposite, advocating destroying any forms of welfare or support on the grounds such programmes encourage 'idleness'. As for their views on 'education' ... it would appear that they believe education for the masses is a necessary evil, and any access to higher education should be made as expensive as possible so as to restrict the numbers advancing into it.

A progamme for improving the lives of the average person this is not.

utter garbage

Revisado en Reino Unido el 2 de noviembre de 2022

Compra verificada

utter jingoistic right wing nonsense - everyone else is lazy on the scrounge according to the authors. Can't believe that these people got to Oxbridge. The book reads like an O level students argument - ie pick and point of view and pick some random facts to support it. There is no real historical analysis as to why certain countries pursued certain policies at certain times which then of course may or may not be suitable in their near to medium futures depending on how world events pan out. Sort of rubbish one would expect from someone like Farage. To be credible they would need to have stated the facts objectively set out both sides of the argument and then argue why they believe their view is the right one. The sad thing is that we in the UK have had to suffer and will continue to suffer as a result of their actually getting to implement some of their deluded views of the UK economy - in a few short weeks they did enormous damage to the UK's credibility and as a result we will end up with a Truss lack of credibility premium on our interest rates for some time to come. Sadly the extreme self inflicted damage by Brexit has been more slow burn and sadly we cant reverse it easily by getting rid of the idiot in charge in short order. UK's GDP was 90% of Germany's and its now around 70%. Haven't seen any books extoling the rip roaring success of Brexit published - wonder why. I suspect this work will becoming required reading on how not to make a success of an economy. Thankfully the authors have now all been ditched to the back benches and will be consigned to the dole queue at the next election. Truss could always get a job as a delivery driver as she always claims to deliver - maybe then she might actually find out how hard some working families are finding it and despite working all the hours they can still need in work benefits and food banks to get by.

Clueless in the Commons

Revisado en Reino Unido el 15 de octubre de 2012

Compra verificada

The irony of five MPs lecturing the electorate on the virtues and necessity of hard work probably won't be lost on a lot of people, but once an individual becomes a member of our rotten parliament it seems they have to take leave of certain senses much as they lose touch with reality. The fact that it took five of them to come up with this slim and intellectually emaciated volume says enough about their work ethic when it could have been written by any reasonably erudite individual with a basic grasp of how to use statistics and Google. But then this book is far more about personal ambitions than it is being truthful with the electorate, which along with other considerations has been drowned in Marx's `icy water of egotistical calculation'

The authors are apparently future stars of the Conservative party, which only goes to show how it takes only the peddling of some strain of Thatcherism to attain that status. This in essence is a book which argues nothing new, then. It contains no fresh insights into what is wrong with British society, but inevitably it peddles the usual litany of things that those on the Right get themselves into a lather about -the welfare state, the laziness of British workers, the tax system and how the politicians responsible for that system impertinently presume the highest earners should pay any tax at all, celebrity status as the only thing that `the young' aspire to etc.

It makes for tiresome reading, although when the City of London is exalted as some kind of hotbed of hard work, that's being polite. Just how much time and effort does it take to pick up a phone and fix an interest rate? Tuggy Tug `standing on a rough street corner in Brixton waiting for someone to mug' (p.72) is cited negatively for his `get rich quick' attitude which the authors claim is likely to leave him in prison or dead. If as far as these authors are concerned Tug had the socially acceptable `get rich quick' attitude he'd be getting the better of his background by working in the City, and in the fullness of time going on to stand as a budding Tory MP. The difference lies not in the end but the means by which it's achieved. This is either an argument far too subtle for these authors to grasp, or something that has no place in their psuedo-rhetoric.

In citing as they do the examples of emerging nations such as Brazil, the authors' blithe disregard for the differences in worldwide standards of living is such a glaring oversight that it must be intentional. Either they have failed to grasp the significance of those differences or they see the driving down of the British standard of living as a price well worth paying for the furtherance of their political ambitions.......sorry, maybe I could have done them a favour there and written `...for British global competitiveness' but I'd like to adhere to the truth.

Given my critique of this book, I should mention that I hold no brief for the Labour party either. My contempt for the three main political parties differs only by degrees, and I suspect I'm not alone there. But as those on the Right seem by some bizarre process pathologically incapable of seeing themselves as anything other than the embodiment of `the national interest', and those on the Left stare into the black hole that is the Labour party under Miliband minor's so-called leadership, such a stance seems abundantly justified.
