What caused the UK’s cost of living crisis, and how can we rebuild? Setting out the concept of liveability, this book argues that rather than focus on increasing wages, we need to make life more liveable through foundational services and social infrastructure.

It’s hard to escape the feeling that in Britain today nothing works. In the face of unaffordable essentials, public service failure, inflation and industrial unrest, this book offers an incisive analysis of the UK’s problems and a new approach to tackling them.
Behind the acute ‘cost of living crisis’ is a chronic ongoing foundational crisis. All the pillars of household liveability are failing as residual income is squeezed, services collapse and social infrastructure decays. Politicians and commentators recommend faster growth and higher wages, but mainstream policies cannot deliver these outcomes, which in any case would not solve our problems.
The only political way out is through a practice of ‘adaptive reuse’: starting from where we are at, aiming directly to improve household liveability and working around the constraints that frustrate mainstream policies. When nothing works breaks with the assumptions of left and right in the UK political classes and changes the field of what is economically visible and politically actionable.
