Politcal book indeed

In this important and accessible book, free from jargon and dogma, Tommy Sheridan MSP and Alan McCoombes map out their political, social and cultural vision for Scotland and beyond in the 21st Century. Examining the advances and achievements that have been made in all walks of life during the 20th century - in such diverse fields as science, health, manufacturing, food production, education, information technology and telecommunications, as well as culturally - the authors have concluded that the free market economic system is unable to utilise these advancements for the greater good of society, and worse, has been unable to tackle even the most basic world problems of hunger, poverty, homelessness and war. Their conclusions are ominous for the champions of profit and greed but offer hope to all those who can foresee the major economic, environmental, and social catastrophes which inevitably lie ahead if global capitalism is left unchallenged.

I have read bits of it, though not the whole of it from start to finish.
I think, on the whole, it is a good book that analyses the current political situation in scotland and argues well why socialists in scotland should support independence on socialist lines.
