  Serving under Harold Wilson and George brown, and as a leading industrialist, Sir Fred Catherwood championed British management against a left-wing and anti-European government. Under Edward Heath he spearheaded Britain's efforts to export to Europe. As an MEP during the Conservative years he initiated the Single Market and reforms to the CAP. Through it all a deep Christian faith shaped his life and principles. After 40 years holding key posts in industry, Whitehall, politics and the Church, Sir Fred reflects on a lifetime of public service and offers views on today's headline issues: a Britain bankrupted by Thatcherism, the case for a social market economy, the damage caused by materialism and permissiveness, and the irrelevance of much of the church.
