Mending Scotland: Essays in Economic Regionalism

Christopher Harvie

5/5 ( ratings)

In this short book, part of Argyll Publishing's discussions series of social policy topics, Chris Harvie argues that the Scottish political community is small, exaggeratedly middle class and weak. Into such a vacuum created by a timid establishment, facile ideology and reactionary populism can flow.

Coming from a life-long enthusiasm for Scottish self-determination, such a situation rings alarm bells for Harvie. Mending Scotland raises the questions that need to be asked in a modern country that is serious about tackling its own problems in economic policy, in the acceptance of received wisdoms by a passively obedient media, in the value of a social agenda, in transport policy and approaches to energy and conservation.
