Contents
Career
Anthony Barnett was the first Director of Charter88 from 1988 to 1995, and co-Director of the Convention on Modern Liberty (2008–2009) with Henry Porter[2]
A former member of the editorial committee of New Left Review, Barnett writes for the New Statesman and the Guardian. He has also written for Prospect magazine. He conceived the television film England's Henry Moore (1988), which concerned the sculptor's co-option by the British establishment.
EU Referendum
As both a passionate European and a long time campaigner for democracy and liberty, Anthony Barnett analysed the EU Referendum in openDemocracy, writing a weekly overview, "Blimey, it could be Brexit!"[3] Now, he's building on this to write a forensic explanation of why Brexit happened and a call to action: "Where we go from here? Britain after Brexit". It is being published by Unbound and Barnett has to crowd fund the book with advance subscriptions and then write it by November 2016. Unbound will publish and distribute early in the new year. Barnett says:
- "On the night of 23rd June the country signalled a democratic intent to stop being a member of the European Union. It did not stop being European – and Europe’s positive ambitions of cooperation, civility, progress and enlightened hope live on. As Europeans we can still keep this flame alive. If this is what you want – then this is a book for you."[4]
