This collection brings together the full range of Hutton's work
as a journalist, pamphleteer and essayist, advocate and critic, and
shows the spectrum of issues with which he has engaged. Yet Hutton
has remained true to his best journalistic instincts. He has proved
to be not only an acute thinker but an engaged writer and effective
popularizer.
Brought together, his work over the last ten years represents the emergence of a new politics and new political imagination in Britain. Founded on a coherent critique of neo-liberal economic orthodoxy and monetarist practice, and a sophisticated reassessment of neo-Keynesianism, Hutton has put the politics back into political economy. The case he makes for new economic institutions, the regulation of global capital markets, the refounding of British industry, has always been matched by the complementary requirements of a new politics which is consensual, democratic, open and innovative and which must be pursued as much in Brussels and the regions and nations of the UK as at Westminster.
