Descripción

Smith, Harry Leslie. Harry's last stand: how the world my generation built is falling down and what we can do to save it. First edition. London: Icon Books, 2014. Hardback, near fine, in unclipped dustjacket. Blue boards with gilt lettering to spine. Binding strong and tight. xix, 202pp., contents clean and bright. "In a manner suggestive of Ken Loach's magisterial 2013 film The Spirit of '45, Smith sees the postwar era, in particular the creation of the welfare state, as Britain's finest moment, a compact between industry and labour, the middle and working classes, destroyed a half-century or more later by neoliberal economics and unrestrained finance capital. This has returned the UK to the landscape of his childhood, in which "food poverty, like a tidal flood, has begun to encroach upon both city and suburban dwellers" (The Guardian). RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions. All images are of the actual book for sale - no stock images are ever used. Thank you for looking at this listing.
