The Digest is our weekly email newsletter, keeping you up to date with the most interesting ideas, explaining the arguments behind the news and summarising current debates and proposals.
With Rachel Reeves setting out her economic philosophy in a big speech in Washington last week, we take a deep dive into the origin and substance of Labour’s emerging economic policy.
This week we explore the ‘Right to Disconnect’, explain how and why this issue has shot up the agenda, and offer some thoughts about the evolving politics of workers’ rights.
This week, we explore the economic arguments around growth and degrowth, and the limits of GDP. We also assess how far this idea has entered the political mainstream, and the barriers it still faces.
In this week’s New Economy Brief we explain the economic rationale for measuring the net worth of the UK’s public sector, what doing so tells us about the public finances, and how this statistic could be used in the future to reshape fiscal policy.
