Turning to Face the East: How Britain Can Prosper in the Asian Century

Liam Byrne was the youngest of Gordon Brown's Cabinet Ministers in 2008 when he became Chief Secretary to the Treasury, and was most famous for the note he left to his Liberal successor David Laws after Labour's defeat in 2010: "Dear Chief Secretary, I'm afraid there is no money. Kind regards — and good luck. Liam." A positive gift for Coalition propaganda. Now he's turned his hand to U.K.-China relations with a book subtitled, How Britain can prosper in the Asian Century.
