Summary

"Since the 2014 referendum, conservative forces have captured the campaign for Scottish independence. "Scotland after Britain" argues for fidelity to the true meaning of independence. What's required is not just a split from the failing British state but also a departure from its perilous and unethical free trade and militaristic policies. Most of all, independence must honestly address the huge inequalities of income, wealth, and power that continue to define Scottish society. It must restore agency to working-class communities and voters"--, Provided by publisher
