→ Britain is Dead
Samuel McIlhagga strikes a pessimistic note about Britain’s prospects:
“The overall trajectory becomes obvious when you look at outcomes in productivity, investment, capacity, research and development, growth, quality of life, GDP per capita, wealth distribution, and real wage growth measured by unit labor cost. All are either falling or stagnant. Reporting from the Financial Times has claimed that at current levels, the UK will be poorer than Poland in a decade, and will have a lower median real income than Slovenia by 2024. Many provincial areas already have lower GDPs than Eastern Europe.”
…and, most interestingly, digs into the long historical context that leads up to this point; this modern malaise has deep roots.
