The  archbishop of Canterbury has denounced David Cameron's "big society", 
saying  that it comes across as aspirational waffle that was "designed to 
conceal a  deeply damaging withdrawal of the state from its responsibilities 
to the most  vulnerable". 
The  outspoken attack on the prime minister's flagship policy by _Rowan 
Williams_ (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/rowan-williams)  –  his strongest to 
date – is contained in a new book, Faith  in the Public Square, that is being 
prepared for publication ahead  of his retirement in December. 
Passages  from the book, obtained by the Observer,  reflect the 
archbishop's deep frustration not just with the policies of  Cameron's government and 
those of its Labour predecessors, but also with what  he sees as the west's 
rampant materialism and unquestioning pursuit of  economic growth. Williams 
also laments spiralling military expenditure,  writing that "the adventure in 
Iraq and its cost in any number of ways seems  to beggar the imagination".
