Description
Haywire: A Political History of Britain Since 2000 by Andrew Hindmoor Since 2000, Britain has experienced a series of crises that have left a trail of disruption in their wake. From the Iraq War to financial collapse, austerity to Brexit, the country has struggled to find stability. In this book, Andrew Hindmoor makes sense of this tumultuous period, revealing how each crisis has compounded the next, creating a sense of disaster as the new normal. Hindmoor argues that the British state's organisational structure has played a significant role in turning crises into dramas, and that it is time to find an alternative before the situation spirals out of control. With wit, insight, and analytical verve, Hindmoor provides a compelling narrative that sheds light on the complex web of events that have shaped Britain's recent history. By examining the intricate relationships between crises and the state, Hindmoor offers a fresh perspective on the challenges facing Britain today.
