What's wrong with Scotland? Why are we in the doldrums while other small nations prosper? in the most radical book about Scotland for a generation, authors Dennis MacLeod and Michael Russell look at their country from an international perspective, and chart a new way forward. In a post-oil era they show why Scotland needs to return power to the pepople in a completely new kind of democracy and they back up their analysis with hard facts.

Grasping the Thistle sets out to define a new, more thoughtful Scottish Independence. Underpinned with original ground-breaking research, this book is a fascinating and gripping polemic.

Reviews

"Constantly stimulating, relentlessly thoughtful, and often downright provocative, this important book made me more sanguine about Scotland's potential than I have been for many years." Harry Reid, author and former editor The Herald
"By tackling the taboo of the overgrown state and confronting the threat of environmental change Russell and MacLeod have made a vital and positive contribution to the national debate." Professor Christopher Harvie
