Synopsis

David Cameron has made compassionate conservatism a priority for the Conservative Party, famously saying that; there is such a thing as society; it's just not the same thing as the state. But what is compassionate conservatism? What does it have to say about the challenges that face Britain today? What vision of society does it offer to inspire and guide future policy-making? These are the subjects of this provocative and important book.
