What if we had a government prepared to implement the policies that could radically change 21st-century Britain and improve people\u2019s lives? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A new book, from the Progressive Economy Forum<\/strong> and <\/strong>Policy Research in Macroeconomics<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>and published by Policy Press<\/a> explores those policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Social and economic policies are rarely communicated clearly to the public, but it\u2019s never been more important for citizens to understand and contribute to the debate around the country\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In everyday language, Rethinking Britain: Policy Ideas for the Many<\/a><\/em> presents a range of ideas from some of the country\u2019s most influential thinkers such as Kate Pickett and Ha-Joon Chang. From inflation to tax, and health to education, each contribution offers solutions which, if implemented, would lead to a fairer society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Curated by leading economists from the Progressive Economy Forum and Policy Research in Macroeconomics (PRIME)<\/a> and accompanied by a \u2018jargon buster\u2019, this book is an essential aid for citizens who are interested in critiquing inequalities while looking to build a better future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rethinking Britain: Policy Ideas for the Many<\/em> is edited by PEF Council members Sue Konzelmann<\/a>, Susan Himmelweit<\/a> and John Weeks<\/a> and Jeremy Smith<\/a>, co-director of PRIME.
