The New Reckoning: Capitalism, States and Citizens

* This is a major new book by one of Britain's foremost political commentators.
* The volume offers a comprehensive re-interpretation of British politics from the Second World War to the present.
*Marquand poses sharp dilemmas and new questions for our politicians faced with the extension of capitalism on a transnational basis. The development of global financial markets threatens to undermine the basis of citizenship and welfare. In exploring how this can be checked, Marquand sets out a bold new programme of principels and institutions for the re-regulation and accountability of capitalist organizations, and of our public life more generally.
