Meer over het boek

The book offers a nuanced reassessment of Gordon Brown's tenure as chancellor and prime minister, highlighting his leadership during the 2008-09 global economic crisis. Drawing from a variety of perspectives, it challenges the notion that all failures were solely his responsibility, emphasizing his contributions to public services and economic policy. While acknowledging his flaws and shortcomings, the author suggests that Brown's pragmatic approach to governance was more impactful than often credited, particularly in health, education, and poverty alleviation.
