Content

Much of the book focuses on Nandy's experience as an MP for Wigan, and her criticisms of neoliberalism. [1] The main theme is the belief that the alternative to neoliberalism is a "quiet patriotism". [2]

The Times' review describes the book as Nandy's diagnosis of the UK's problems and the "beginnings" of some solutions. [3] According to The Economist, the book can summarised with the following quote. [4]

Thanks to the foresight of local leaders and the regional development agency of well over a decade ago, companies from all over the world have been persuaded to invest in Grimsby because of its great natural asset—wind.
