Notes:

The Progressive Economy Forum was founded in May 2018 and brings together a Council of eminent economists and academics to develop a new macroeconomic programme for the UK.

The forum seeks too:

  1. Advance macroeconomic policies that address the modern challenges of environmental breakdown, economic insecurity, social and economic inequalities, and technological change.
  2. Encourage the implementation of these policies by working with progressive policymakers and improving public understanding of economics.

To these ends, we publish research and policy proposals, run a wide variety of events, and manage a blog featuring authoritative analysis from progressive economists and academics.

The Forum was founded by Patrick Allen who is Chair of the Council. The Forum is not aligned to any political party.
