Summary
Is the solution to the global mental health crisis to be found in getting rid of Mondays? Is it time to stop poor people being poor by... giving them money? Post COVID, UBI is no longer a fringe left-wing idea. Why does it work? Can we turn the tide on the rise of global populism by giving 16-year olds the vote? The intersecting shockwaves from COVID-19, and the re-examination of old social structures that the Black Lives Matter protests have exposed, have revealed deep fault lines and irreparable damage to our old ways of living. In End State, James Plunkett argues that this offers tremendous opportunities to rethink, renew and reform some of the fundamentals of society. In much the same way as the end of World War Two saw the creation of the NHS and welfare state, he argues that as we live through these once in a generation dislocations, we need to set our compass for the new future we want to build
