Imagination Determination: Attlee Government and Llewellyn Consulting

imagination determination: Far from it, according to The Independent. As is being increasingly recognised, recovery was stifled by an ill-conceived austerity programme whose deleterious effects played no small role in the outcome of the 2016 referendum. Similarly, it has taken a decade for the British economy to recover from the banking crisis of 2007-09 and, indeed, it is begging the question to assume that the recovery is complete. The economic and social damage has been such that what the country requires is a government with the imagination and determination of the post-1945 Attlee government. Edited by the economists John Llewellyn and Russell Jones of Llewellyn Consulting the work draws on contributions from many eminent economists and public figures on the future of economic, industrial and foreign policy, addressing the challenges facing the country regardless of what particular form of exit from the EU will ultimately be chosen . Regular readers will guess where this last sentence leads me. In which context, the independent National Institute of Economic and Social Research is to be congratulated for its imminent publication of Beyond Brexit A Programme for UK Reform, a product of the newly formed Policy Reform Group.
