Mary Edward & Michael Keating – A Wealthier, Fairer & More Diverse Scotland?
How can Scotland use its new and existing powers to create a brighter economic and social future? After years of debate on what powers Scotland should have, how can Scotland can use the powers it has gained through the 1998, 2012 and 2016 devolution acts to fulfil its ambition? Michael Keating’s collection of essays A Wealthier, Fairer Scotland assesses the opportunities and constraints facing a small, devolved nation. For the past 200 years, immigrants to Glasgow have found prosperity and poverty in its streets and closes. In Who Belongs to Glasgow Mary Edward investigates their history, and the contribution they have brought to the city. With clear-sighted social analysis and historical evidence, Edward weaves a vivid tapestry of the many peoples and cultures that have created contemporary Glasgow.
