Britannia Unchained
Global Lessons for Growth and Prosperity
Book • 2012
This book, written by five Conservative MPs, presents a vision for the UK's future as a leading global economy.
It advocates for a radical shift towards free market economics, suggesting fewer employment laws and drawing lessons from countries like Canada, Australia, and East Asian economies.
The authors argue that Britain must adopt these measures to avoid economic mediocrity, criticizing the current state of high taxes, excessive regulation, and perceived laziness among British workers.
The book has been controversial, with critics pointing out factual errors and slipshod research, and it has been linked to the economic policies of the Johnson and Truss governments.
