The Politics of Liberty

This important book, written by a poet, is concerned with Great Britain and its recent political and social history: a history which, to some minds, consists of a diminution of stature, a widespread loss of purpose and a lack of respect for others – as well as for oneself.

These troubles are, of course, not restricted to one country.

On the contrary, the problems facing Great

Britain reflect those of the wider world.

A sense of drift is in the air.

Across

the West, politics has become divided between noisy Left and Right factions.

Neither side provides us with a satisfactory

answer, and both are equally unacceptable to the average person.

At the same time we see weakened centre-ground politicians continue to make undue concessions to

single-issue

pedants.

What has happened?

The

key to this present state of affairs and to our political renewal is found

here, at last,

in

The Politics of Liberty.
