Evan Calder took a government job because he believed he could make a difference. That was four years and fourteen failed project plans ago. Now he spends his mornings decoding contradictory emails from leadership ("Be bold.

Think about your five closest friends. Are they happy? Do they live their lives with purpose? Do you? We put on a fake front for what we want people to see and think about us, but the reality is most people aren’t happy. We’re lost. We settle. We aren’t happy with where we are.

This book is about the things that Britain produces in order to pay its way in the world, from physical goods that we can see and feel, to intangible services that are much harder to quantify.
