This book is a significant intellectual contribution by the UK's Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, Ed Balls, which seeks to move the Labour party's thinking on the economy beyond the Third Way, and open a dialogue on the economic space centre-left governments have to work within in a more competitive global era. The key challenge it confronts is: in the face of seismic global and technological changes, rising inequality and a decade of stagnating median incomes so pay packets are buying less and less, how can countries like Britain earn their way out of this cost of living crisis and deliver a rising prosperity that can be shared by all citizens, and not just a few? Reassessing New Labour's time in office, the book will ask what the economic trends we have seen over the last twenty years can teach us about how we should shape economic policy for the next twenty.
