Product Description
Review
"The immense virtue of Anthony Giddens′s brilliant book is that it preaches against complacency ... Giddens sets out admirably his own picture of the social democratic future."
Charles Clarke, The Guardian
Charles Clarke, The Guardian
"Provides an important route map for progress [and] a valuable corrective to the collective amnesia that can afflict a reckoning of the government′s record."
David Milliband, The Observer
"Giddens makes a weighty and significant contribution, serving up a rich diet of thoughts, ideas and policies."
Alan Milburn, New Statesman
"Over to You will prove accessible and stimulating reading."
Michael White, Times Literary Supplement
"Packed full of thoughtful observations and practical policy proposals, on matters as diverse as the labour market, immigration and multiculturalism."
Parliamentary Affairs
"Clearly written, and easy to read, this book makes for interesting reading for those engaged with current politics and it will be interesting to see if some of the policy suggestions are adopted by Brown."
Sociology
"Forms a very useful guide to the concerns of those installing themselves at new desks across Whitehall."
Roy Bacon, Defence Focus
"Perhaps the most important thing about this stimulating book is that it shows a new way of thinking about welfare."
Ranier Fsadni, Times of Malta
"In Over to You, Mr Brown [Giddens] has produced another restless tour de horizon, taking in most of the main axes of contemporary political debate."
Nick Pearce, Progress
"I would be delighted if Brown were to accept Giddens′s advice on the future direction of policy laid out in this book."
Clare Short, The House Magazine

Format:Paperback
As endorsed by Charles Clarke, David Miliband, and Alan Milburn. Well, that gives us all an idea of its worth!
Giddens pronounces with a popinjay's pomposity on matters political.
The only way Labour could win again would be to jettison its disastrous record, leadership and membership. Well, most of the decent members are leaving anyway.
The Labour Party is as bankrupt as the banks it worships.

Giddens' book is offers a good appraisal of Labour under Blair and a realistic and accessible roadmap for the future of progressive politics in the UK. Don't listen to the politically motivated review above, which seems to solely concern itself with a dislike of Giddens and New Labour.
