Ending Stagnation: Steering economic change

Resolution Foundation Events Podcast

The goal of a new economic strategy is not a somewhat richer, somewhat fairer, version of the UK’s stagnant status quo, but a more enduring shift in direction; economic change will have to be embraced and steered. And yet despite popular claims that change is speeding up, it is slowing down; the reallocation of labour between sectors is at its lowest level in over 90 years.

Panel discussion on 'Steering economic change' at the final report conference for The Economy 2030 Inquiry.

Speakers:

• Gregory Thwaites, Research Director at the Resolution Foundation
• Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial Times
• Professor David Edgerton, Professor of History at King’s College London
• Stephanie Flanders, Head of Bloomberg Economics
• Lord David Willetts, President of the Resolution Foundation (Chair)
