Reviews
British Member of Parliament Jesse Norman (Conservative Party) promotes Prime Minister David Cameron's conservative idea of the "Big Society," with a particular focus on its economic elements. His analysis seeks to identify the sources of political, economic, and social weakness in Britain, critique the basic assumptions that underlie current economic and political thinking, and promote the ideas of "compassionate conservatism" and the "Big Society" for economics and the rule of law., A landmark title that captured excellent national review coverage . . . a serious attempt to replace two misguided philosophies, one on the left and one on the right. Norman attacks Labour's state centralism. More interestingly, he also questions the liberal market economics which not long ago seemed a prerequisite of Tory thinking., eoeA landmark title that captured excellent national review coverage . . . a serious attempt to replace two misguided philosophies, one on the left and one on the right.

Synopsis
WILL THE BIG SOCIETY REDEFINE BRITISH POLITICS FOR A GENERATION? You can call it liberalism . You can call it empowerment . You can call it freedom . You can call it responsibility.I call it the Big Society . As the pioneering work to anatomise this new and influential ideology, The Big Society: the Anatomy of the New Politics illustrates the Big Society's redefinition of British politics for a generation. Spanning across economics, philosophy, history, business, civil liberties, education and culture, Norman's work traces the Big Society's roots in neglected British intellectual and social traditions while showcasing its unexpected and cutting-edge new policy ideas. Packed with deep insights and new perspectives this book makes essential reading for politicians, economists, social commentators, as well as those in the public services and the voting public. Among other things, it explains -- how the growth of the Labour party has been a disaster for the Left in Britain -- why so much happiness theory is intellectually bankrupt -- the paradox of creativity: why high bonuses often reduce, not improve, human performance -- why Conservatives should robustly defend common law human rights -- the social power of music and the arts. Published by the University of Buckingham Press, it is available online and in all good bookshops. A sample chapter can be found on www.jesse4hereford.com Praise for the author's Compassionate Conservatism (2006) The intellectual guidebook to Cameronism, Sunday Times The book everyone in Westminster is talking about, The Observer Superb...What the Conservatives need now is not re-branding but an actual philosophical and policy basis for action. This book brilliantly provides that basis, Andrew Sullivan, political commentator and journalist. Politicians should encourage the emergence of voluntary co-operation, exchange and virtue in society. This delightful and important book explains why and how, from political first principles to policy nuts and bolts. Conservatives and non-conservatives alike should read it, Matt Ridley, author of The Rational Optimist A glimpse of the future of British Conservatism, Adrian Wooldridge, co-author of The Right Nation ., This hugely important book provides a most timely and important answer to a question perhaps best described as rhetorical: it is essential reading for politicians, economists, social commentators - and the voting public., WILL THE BIG SOCIETY REDEFINE BRITISH POLITICS FOR A GENERATION?

Package was delayed ( by bad weather) and then misplaced at PO( placed in wrong box #) but I contacted the seller and they responded quickly and I got my item today. This seller went the extra mile and I would highly recommend them and will shop here again. I also want to say the price for this complete hard to find item was way below most of the other listings. Condition was good as stated, and although I've only watched the first disc it's quality is good.

- 1***1 (468)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem arrived as described and was a fair value for price paid. It felt like it took forever to arrive, based on the listing info I wasn’t expecting this item to ship from outside of the US BUT based upon the shipping information it appears it had. So it took several weeks for this small, light item to arrive. Which seemed odd due to it being small and light and easy to package to ship, it was pretty annoying. When it did finally arrive it started to make more sense that it was shipped low priori
