The Public on the Public: The British Public as Trust, Reflexivity and Political Foreclosure

By Michael Gardiner and Claire Westall

Book Overview

In Britain, the resistance to popular determination allowed by the financial construct of the public has been so successful that this term, public, must be re-read as politically paralyzing. The problem, our problem, is the public - which we are so often told will bring us together and provide for us - and it is this we must move beyond.
