Dorling, D. and B. Thomas (2011). Bankrupt Britain: an atlas of social change. Bristol, Policy Press.
Bankrupt Britain is an
atlas of the social, economic and environmental impacts of the recession on
Britain, with 50 detailed colour maps (cartograms rather than standard maps)
showing how different areas have been affected by the 2007 banking crisis, the
2008 economic crash and the 2009 credit crunch. The book is divided into six
chapters which each focus on different problem areas for Britain, including:
Financially Bankrupt; Residentially Bankrupt; Politically Bankrupt; Morally
Bankrupt; Emotionally Bankrupt; and Environmentally Bankrupt. The research for
the book is based on population statistics, and the empirical data as well as
additional material for the book are available on the companion website to the
book:
