Understanding the UK's Economic Challenges
This chapter explores the historical roots of the UK's long-term economic issues, including inflation and productivity stagnation. It contrasts the economic growth prior to 2008 with subsequent downturns influenced by political decisions like austerity and Brexit. A critical examination of Thatcherism's impact on deindustrialization and the need to leverage the UK's strengths in various sectors concludes the discussion.
