Ageing Society: Alternative Economists and Climate Change

ageing society: In fact, there has been huge progress in building an alternative, according to The Guardian. Economists have a better analysis of how sustainable growth and innovation occur, and how the state can co-invest with industry to meet challenges such as climate change and an ageing society. But you wrongly imply that no one has done this. It is clear that the decline in bargaining power in an overly casualised labour market has held down wages, and that both stronger trade unions and regulation are needed to raise low-income earnings and productivity. All these and more are proposed in a recent report by the IPPR commission on economic justice, Prosperity and Justice A Plan for the New Economy. The role of the financial sector in causing financial instability, short-termism and wealth inequality is much better understood, and new public institutions from a national investment bank to regional economic government and a new digital regulator are now on the table.
