Joining us in the Audible Studios to talk about his latest book, Saving Britain: How We Must Change to Prosper in Europe, is political economist, writer and journalist Will Hutton. Alongside Will Hutton’s work as writer for the Observer, the former BBC journalist is also the Chair of the Big Innovation Centre and current Principal of Hertford College, University of Oxford. Author of 11 books, his most recognised and acclaimed title is The State We’re In, first published in 1995.

Will Hutton’s passionate book shows how the right and left have gone wrong over the course of the last century – and how we can remake a better Britain. Britain’s inability to invest in itself is at the heart of our problems. The malevolent thread linking the grievous errors of the last forty-five years is the attempt to create the utopia of free markets and a minimal state. The terrible consequences scar our country today. We need an alternative economic and political philosophy, especially if we are to ward off a nihilist populism.
