England is the country which invented Association Football, democracy and the USA; it is also the country which has no national song and whose favourite dish is chicken tikka massala. And yet a new England is coming about.How will this new England face the future? A future in which we are challenged by global warming; by the dominance of China and India in the world economy; by the unravelling of the American empire; by attack from fanatical Muslims; by the break-up of the United Kingdom; and by the failures of politicians and global business?England is uniquely placed - if it acts now it can shape a future worth living in for us all. England needs to rediscover the institutions and attitudes that made it the pioneer of the modern world - including rule of law, equality of opportunity, and accountability of power. Many English people are hungry for a new identity, and this radical book sets out a new idea of an English future - one based on pride in its achievements without bigotry towards others.
