About this listen

 Former Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt's World Power is a thought-provoking book about our place in the world in the century ahead.

Looking back at his time as this country's global ambassador, he asks: is Britain a minor player, marginalized by our departure from the EU and dwarfed by the rise of new economies? Or is there a major role for us to play in a rapidly changing international order? If it is the latter, what is the evidence that we were capable of doing that beyond a nostalgic desire for influence and patriotic tub-thumping?

Hunt observes how Britain has continued to exert global influence despite losing its empire and economic dominance. Where does our influence lie in democracy, the rule of law, and respect for human rights? Or climate change, promoting global health security and dealing with the excesses of the internet? He argues we have acquired authority on the global stage that is about much more than history and informs a positive vision of the future. He writes with passion and clarity, interweaving stories about his time in Government with questions he can now ask publicly about our attitude to China, Tech, Security, Climate Change and all aspects of our global role.

Firstly, I don’t agree with Jeremy Hunt on a political level, I found his narration engaging and persuasive. He lays out a clear and systematic case for the UK’s place in the world, highlighting our many strengths and positive traits. This felt particularly uplifting at a time when so much of what we hear in the media is negative. Hunt’s narration was excellent too - calm, clear, and compelling. I’d highly recommend this book to listeners of any political persuasion.

Uplifting

A very interesting insight that counters some of the negativity from an objective assessment covering several key topics for UK PLC

Highly recommended
