Produktbeschreibung
In the British Constitution, Brian Scanlon takes the reader on a Grand Tour of the key events in British history, from the Roman occupation to the post-Brexit era, linking them to evolution of the constitutional settlements that now define the British State. It takes in what happened, why it changed the constitution, and how it applies in both practical and philosophical terms. The constitution, which is best described as written but un-codified, is probably the most flexible and adaptable to be found anywhere. Its common law heritage provides the pragmatism to accommodate new political realities and new constituencies of interest almost in its stride. It deserves a wider appreciation, which is the primary objective of this book, and it stands ready to be used by enlightened statesmen to differentiate the British people and their State so that a new era of competitive advantage can be won, politically and commercially, on the World stage.
Autorenporträt
Brian Scanlon is not a professional historian. His academic background is rooted in mathematics and physics. He has had a career that started in heavy industry and progressed through strategic management consulting to treasury services in international banking. He has been involved in privatising-initiatives for nationalised industries and the flotation of public companies as a chairman. He is the author of The Marketing of Engineering Services, The Board Game (in conjunction with Steve Schneider, which examines the impact of personal behaviour on corporate performance, particularly in the boardroom), and The Profitable Farm (in conjunction with Chris Clark, which introduces the highly-original concept of maximum sustainable output - MSO). His hobby is industrial archaeology.
