Thrive

Why won't Scots simmer down? Why batter on about independence when folk voted no a decade back? After all. Scotland is not as populated as Yorkshire. Nor as wealthy as London. Put simply, Scotland is a social democracy stuck in a Conservative state with no legal way out. Scotland is another country. In 'Thrive', Lesley Riddoch makes an impassioned case for independence, weaving academic evidence with story, international comparison with anecdote to explain why Scotland's ready to step forward as the world's newest state.
