Britain’s Decisive Decade Lessons from History and Overseas
Authors from the Economy 2030 Inquiry discuss the economics lessons the UK could learn from other countries and the UK's own history.
The UK is on the brink of a decade of huge economic change – from Covid-19 recovery to exiting the EU and transitioning towards a Net Zero future. The Economy 2030 Inquiry, a collaboration between the Resolution Foundation and the LSE’s Centre for Economic Performance, is examining this decisive decade for Britain to set out a plan for how we can successfully navigate it.
Gavin Kelly, Chair of the Resolution Foundation, brings together Lorenzo Codogno, Sophie Hale, Rainer Kattel and Anna Valero, all of whom have contributed to the Inquiry.
