There has been less discussion about the nature of the UKs political economy.\n\nLeaving the UKs model of political economy unchanged is, however, not an option in the modern global economy. The existing model has resulted in an unbalanced economy with relatively low productivity and a structural balance of payments deficit. Without reform, these problems will not go away and could worsen. A debate about what Britains new economic model should look like is long overdue.\n\nThis booka collaboration between Policy Network and IPPRaims to fill this gap.
