Speeches, 1997-2006, will collect all Gordon Brown’s major speeches on a broad range of topics ranging from Britishness and fairness, through the economy and public services, to child poverty and environmental issues.
They reflect a formidable and widely read intellect trained in the analytic skills of the historian but also – and far more importantly – inspired by a vision of what the political process can achieve for our society and our nation.
The book traces the development of Gordon Brown's thinking on a wide range of subjects and is aimed at a specialist audience of political commentators, researchers and academics, and anyone interested in the political process.
