Résumé
Why does life in Britain feel harder than it should?This book starts from a simple observation shared quietly by millions: things still work, but they no longer feel as if they work for you. Money doesn't stretch as far. Work feels heavier without delivering greater security. Taxes rise, yet services feel thinner. Housing dominates life decisions. Nothing is collapsing - but everything feels tighter.
The End of the Rich Country argues that this discomfort is not personal failure, pessimism, or nostalgia. It is the result of a long structural shift. Britain still looks like a rich country on paper, but it increasingly functions like an asset-rich, income-poor one for a growing share of its population. Rather than offering slogans or blame, the book explains how this happened. It examines the slow drift from productive growth to asset dependence, the housing trap, stagnant wages, regional imbalance, declining productivity, and the quiet rationing of public services.
It shows how a country can remain stable, orderly, and internationally respectable while becoming progressively less workable for everyday life. This is not a manifesto and not a prediction of collapse. It does not promise easy fixes or ideological comfort. Instead, it offers a clear diagnosis of the pressures shaping modern Britain - why effort no longer reliably turns into reward, why standing still has replaced progress, and why so many people feel busy without getting ahead.
Written in a calm, non-partisan tone, The End of the Rich Country is for readers who sense something has changed but struggle to name it. Its aim is clarity rather than outrage: to explain the forces at work, the trade-offs involved, and the reality Britain now faces as the cushion of past wealth thins. This book is a diagnosis, not a manifesto.
