FROM BROKE TO BREXIT - MICHAEL BURTON KARTONIER...

Perhaps the most extraordinary period in modern British history  the years between the Great
Recession and Brexit have often been dubbed 'the lost decade' because of the economic and
political turmoil caused by those two great events. Michael Burton outlines how the first led
to the second  assisted by a rare confluence of other  often unrelated  social and political
factors that delivered the shock Leave verdict in the EU referendum of 2016. These included the
longstanding grievances of voters in former industrial areas feeling left behind by globalism 
stagnant incomes after the recession  austerity  the rise of social media  the refugee and
Eurozone crisis in Europe  the deep split in the Conservative and Labour parties over the EU
and rising wealth inequalities. The author also charts the chaotic political landscape that
ended in the final Brexit deal. This book is ideal for the general reader as well as for
students of politics  history and economics needing a concise andwell-explained account of this
turbulent period in British history.
