The last decade has shattered our national unity, revealing deep divisions by region, age and social class; and by attitudes and values. Many of us have been left asking 'what's the point of modern Britain?'

This book takes up that challenge, setting out to redefine our national purpose. Its conclusions are shaped by the contributions of thousands of Britons, drawing on the views of business leaders, thought leaders and influencers as well as those of ordinary men and women.

National Anthem explores what makes us proud, and it does not shy away from what makes us ashamed. It identifies national treasures, symbols of success and failure and even rewrites the national anthem. This unique book searches for consensus about what Britain's future mission should be and, crucially, asks each individual to consider what role they can personally play in bringing about the change we all want to see.
