Two leading journalists explain how and why Britain has fallen into decline, and what is required for the state to survive in the new world order. This is a highly topical subject that is becoming more pressing, as the economic outlook for the UK worsens and fears of a second global financial crisis increase. The authors are Economics Editors of "Mail On Sunday" and "Guardian" respectively.
Synopsis
With a second recession looming, Britain is facing a moment of truth. This book examines how the leader of the industrial revolution came to exhibit the features of a 'developing country'; chronic debt, volatile growth and vulnerability to external events. Going South explains how this has happened, arguing that the time for quick fixes is over.
