Overview

Ending austerity is not enough. Be Outraged,an outspoken challenge to current orthodoxy, shows how economic recovery in the UK and Europe can be combined with measures for fuller employment, gender equity, better care, reduced inequality and international action for transforming the financial sector from master to servant. Each of the policies proposed is illustrated by actions already underway in developing countries, with the message that the West now needs to learn from the South and the East, "We now need to learn from them!". Written by 12 distinguished development professionals the booklet is endorsed by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Stephane Hessel, author of the best selling Indignez-vous
