{"product_id":"9780691283630","title":"The Land Where Nothing Works","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat has happened to Britain? As drivers on its roads can attest, it is the pothole capital of Europe. Once-beautiful towns now feature peeling paint, weeds, and broken railings. Public services are no longer fit for purpose. A malaise seems to infect every aspect of British life: its economy, polity, social order, sense of well-being, domestic regional relationships, and place in the world. In this work, the distinguished historian A.G. Hopkins offers an explanation, tracing Britain's current problems to decisions made in the 1980s that abandoned its post-war experiment in social democracy and mimicked policies of deregulation and privatisation promoted by the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A.
