"His optimism is unquenchable, his excitement exhilarating and his creativity awesome" Observer "If Will Hutton were a political party I would vote for him" -- David Aaronovitch Independent "Passionately sane, rich in ideas, The State We're In breathes human sense back into economics and eloquently embodies the spirit of a new optimism" Ian McEwan "Hutton acknowledges two great influences: J.M. Keynes and J.K. Galbraith... Hutton's bestseller will do for their theories what Stephen Hawking did for cosmology in A Brief History of Time" -- Martin Vander Weyer Daily Telegraph "Now, in Will Hutton's book, we have at last what we need - an impassioned, and passionately cogent, critique of New Right policy" -- John Gray Guardian
