The People We Could Be: Or how to be £500 better off, build a fairer society and a better planet

English

By (author): Alex Bell

We live in a time of crises in a state with no moral purpose. This generation could become great by tackling Scotlands domestic problems, and the wider issues facing the world. That is only possible if we take charge, set the goal of equality and give ourselves twenty years to transform our society. We can lead ourselves to a better world. - ALEX BELL

Former Head of Policy to First Minister Alex Salmond, Alex Bell puts Scotlands future in a global context and sets out a way for Scotland and the UK to reform. This is a manifesto for the future free of party lines or the usual orthodoxies if you read only one book on the referendum, make it this one.

The sort of original thinking that has been so sorely missing in the debate. - BEN THOMSON, Reform Scotland

Badly needed as a guide for the general reader to the issues facing the Scottish people. - KENNETH ROY, Scottish Review

A rare work a stimulating read that you would hope party manifestos would aspire to but rarely do. - JOHN McLAREN, Centre for Public Policy for Regions

A manifesto for the future. - ANDY WIGHTMAN, author of The Poor Had No Lawyers

an eloquent and alarmingly persuasive book. - THE SCOTSMAN, on Peak Water

About Alex Bell

Alex Bell worked as a journalist for the BBC The Observer and the Herald. He reported from around the world and in the UK on conflicts and major events. Over time he began to think that the greatest story of the age was how mankind lives on the planet. He became fascinated by water -- the way it influences the shape of so many things and the assumption that the next big war would be over water. He wrote this book to share that fascination and introduce a wide readership to a vital issue. He lives in Edinburgh with his daughter.
