Written by an extraordinary team of authors, including Danny Dorling and Kate Pickett, this book offers a compelling and achievable vision for a progressive future. It presents concrete policy proposals for the reform of welfare, health and social care, public utilities and more. -- .
An inspiring manifesto offering a radical vision for our political future.

We live in an age of crisis and decline. The right presents ‘solutions’ that only worsen the situation, driving a downward cycle in which desperation leads to despair. But the left is also to blame: progressive politicians have consistently failed to recognise both the urgency of people’s need and their receptiveness to new solutions.

In Act now, a team of leading researchers presents a compelling and achievable vision for a progressive future. They outline clear policies for welfare, health and social care, education, housing and more. Arguing for a rolling forwards of the state, they call for a new era of active citizenship and economic democracy, grounded in robust and resilient institutions.

Only a comprehensive and integrated approach, based on clear evidence of feasibility and popularity, can provide a pathway to the secure, democratic and prosperous Britain of tomorrow. This book is the blueprint. It calls on politicians, pundits and the British people to act now. -- .

Common Sense Policy Group is a collective of leading figures from academia, politics and industry who share a common belief in the need for pragmatic reform to end our era of crisis. The group includes Kate Pickett and Richard Wilkinson, authors of The Spirit Level: Why Equality is Better for Everyone, and Danny Dorling, author of Shattered Nation. -- .
