No nonsense solutions from the straight-talking face of British business.
IF FUNDAMENTAL REFORM DOES NOT TAKE PLACE THEN WE ARE DEAD IN THE WATER.
GLOBALISATION DOES NOT TAKE PRISONERS. BRITAIN MUST BECOME FIT FOR PURPOSE IN THE 21ST CENTURY.
This is the explosive, first book from 'the face of British business', Lord Digby Jones. With a renowned, no-nonsense, straight-talking approach, he is one of the world's most acclaimed business commentators.
In his candid and forthright style Fixing Britain puts the spotlight on critical national and international business issues and lays out the essential reform urgently needed for the growth of our nation. Knowledgeable, authoritative and independent, Digby highlights how untenable the status quo is in the UK, and sets out how Britain can get back in – and stay in – the globalised race.
Sending a clear message to government, business leaders, strategists and the media, Fixing Britain explores the effective linkage of change at all levels, from Westminster to education, the public and private sectors, our social cohesion and our sense of common purpose.
Digby is never afraid to say what others are thinking - this is the most explosive examination of the state of British business in years.

He serves in the private sector as Chairman of the International Business Advisory Boards of HSBC and British Airways, a Corporate Ambassador for Jaguar Cars and JCB, and Chairman of Triumph Motorcycles, among a number of paid and unpaid roles.

Aus dem Klappentext
Five Minutes to Midnight Time for Change
There was a small state a long time ago that developed into the most powerful economic and military empire the world had ever seen.
It gave the world a common language, a common currency, the rule of law, the freedom of citizenship, tariff-free trade and peace. But in the space of just three or four generations, it was all over.
I speak, of course, of Rome.
Rome s majestic achievement declined and collapsed, alarmingly quickly.
Rome didn t fall apart because the Huns came out of the Ardennes Forest or the Scots came over Hadrian s Wall. Rome fell apart in Rome. It became complacent, lazy, and indolent. It lost its sense of values and purpose and became a society for the selfish. As it unknowingly approached it own demise, it lacked leadership and it blamed everyone but itself.
Something which had taken centuries to build, fell apart, in history s chronological terms, in just an afternoon.
I don t want that to happen to my country. Lord Digby Jones
