Why is The State We’re In (Vintage, £7.99, ISBN 0 09 93668 1 9) a
runaway best seller? Easy – because Will Hutton tells us what we already know
– that there is such a thing as society and that it is important for captains
of industry to understand this if Britain is going to compete economically.
Not an easy read and sometimes depressing, it is a wonderful catharsis.
