Description

Since 1945 more than 2.5 million people, from all over the world, have come to Britain in search of a better life for themselves and their families. Britain, Goodhart shows, has been immensely enriched by the enterprise and diversity of its immigrant populations. However, the number of newcomers in the last fifteen years has strained community relations and may have weakened the consensus surrounding welfare provision. Goodhart argues that in these times of recession and austerity, progressive thinkers need to promote social solidarity, which will require a period of low net immigration, and a new kind of civic pride and patriotism.
