Navigating Economic Storms - CANCELLED Gavin Kelly
Event details
As the UK is buffeted by the economic shocks and challenges of the 2020s, the Resolution Foundation and London School of Economics ‘Economy 2030 Inquiry’ is publishing a series of essays examining how policy makers from a range of advanced economies, including the UK in the recent past, have managed periods of disruptive economic change.
Some of the inquiry’s essays consider the trajectory of a national economy following a major shock - for instance, Germany after unification, New Zealand after the UK joined the European Community, Estonia post-USSR and the UK during the tumultuous 1980s.
Others examine the experience of particular cities - for instance, a group of post-industrial ‘turn-around cities’ - or the adjustment of key features of a national economic system, such as Danish ‘flexicurity’.
As we seek to reformulate the UK’s economic strategy for new times it is vital that we learn the lessons of these comparative and historic perspectives.
Join our panel for powerful and timely insights into the successes and failures of policy makers in the face of previous periods of economic change, both at home and abroad, and to discover how we can use this information to successfully navigate the economic challenges we are facing.
