Review
"Britain is experiencing an economic recession - what Bankrupt Britain shows is the social recession that millions of our people are enduring. We have to know how and why Britain is broken before we can fix it, Dorling and Thomas achieve that invaluable task with depth and style." --Neal Lawson, Chair of Compass
"Danny Dorling and Bethan Thomas pull no punches in this tour de force of social commentary. Alongside a series of striking maps, charts and meticulous statistics, their incisive text reveals a society torn apart by inequality and the damage caused to the vast majority of us by the moral bankruptcy of the rich and powerful." --Kate Pickett, Professor of Epidemiology, University of York, co-author of The Spirit Level, and co-founder of The Equality Trust
"The authors have created a publication that is visually appealing, straightforward to understand, and divided up in a manner that makes it easy for the reader to dip in and out of various topics at will. It is certainly worth a read," --Significance magazine
