| Abstract
|
:
|
As New Labour approaches the end of an unprecedented third term in office, this book asks whether Britain is more equal than it was in 1997. The second volume, updating the highly successful "A more equal society?", provides an independent assessment of the success or otherwise of New Labour's policies.
