Review:
"Brilliant." Allister Heath, Editor of City Am "Groundbreaking." Andrew Roberts, Historian "No more effective indictment of the welfare state has been published than that which appears between the covers of James Bartholomew's The Welfare State We're In. The book is quite simply brilliant." Frank Field MP, Former Minister for Welfare Reform "A splendid book - A devastating critique of the welfare state." Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize-Winning Economist "This isn't a dry book about public policy. It's an explosive blockbuster, guaranteed to boil your blood, beautifully written, sweeping in its scope.There are many bad things about modern Britain. Until I read this book, they seemed disconnected, hard to explain, impossible to put right. That's why it is such an exciting read. Bartholomew's message, that the welfare state has done much to destroy liberal society in the West, is scary, but it's also thrilling. For in articulating the problem so clearly, he shows us how to solve it." Martin Durkin, City AM "Overall The Welfare State We're In is a fascinating read which sets our modern-day welfare state in its historical context and challenges many assumptions which are frequently made about it."
