Good review for Stewart Lansley
6 Mar 2015
‘Breadline Britain is a substantial piece of work, by two academics who have both played leading roles in research into UK poverty for over 30 years. Drawing on that expertise, they’ve produced a brilliant overview of the nature of poverty in the UK right now, how things have changed in recent decades, and also what we must do to tackle the problem. Most importantly, it’s a very accessible, readable book… the book is an ideal overview for anyone who wants to understand UK poverty better. It’s powerful and authoritative – I was particularly impressed by the devastating analysis of inequality and our dependence on the financial industry – whilst always remaining easy to read and follow.’
