The reckoning -- The heart of the matter -- Custodians of the light -- Waging war without blood :the collapse of American liberalism -- Greed isn't good for you -- The globalisation of conservatism -- Britain in the American bear-hug -- Europe works -- Siblings under the skin -- The idea of Europe -- Fighting back.
"To understand the global economy, Hutton argues, one must first understand the United States where, over the past 30 years, the forces of conservatism have achieved such supremacy as to reduce liberalism to a term of abuse. The results have been dire: America is a weaker, fragmented society, and its economic strenths are oversold and misunderstood. But Britain and Europe are different: our attitudes towards property, equality, social solidarity and the public realm are strikingly distinct from Amerrica’s current conservative leanings. Europe should not be afraid to stand up against the American version of globalisation, and champion the cause of a reinvigorated international society – taking over the mantle now abandoned by the US." -- https://www.littlebrown.co.uk/titles/will-hutton/the-world-were-in/9780748109821/
