	Cover story: 'An intellectual in power' by John Lloyd \| Prospect Magazine July 2007 issue 136
		Brown has long been concerned to understand the process loosely described as globalisation, and in the past few months has been engaged in trying to chart the main movements of the world economy and society over the next decade—the time within which he might hope to continue to be able to make some difference.
		Brown's sense of a threat of a moral breakdown at both the individual and the social level has led him to search through the work of thinkers who share that view—who have been mainly, in recent times, of the political right.
		Brown's intellectual searching is for this: "the collective good we make together." He has, ironically, done it alone in the early morning or late at night, before attempting to take it out to the real world, to (as Gramsci put it) play an active part in modifying the situation in which he finds himself.
