Information

Can We Be Rich Again? The Surprising Potential of Britain’s Economy is a cure for doom-loop pessimism. Andy Haldane, former Chief Economist of the Bank of England, wrote that Jeremy’s new book is ‘An optimistic can-do compelling account of how Britain’s vast potential can be uncorked, from someone who knows better than anyone how power is most effectively deployed.’ Jeremy pulled Britain back from the fiscal abyss at the end of the disastrous premiership of Liz Truss in October, 2022. Using all his experience, in this new book the former Chancellor offers not just assertions but solutions and plans that politicians can actually deliver in a democratic system that the majority of the electorate can get behind. In conversation with Michael Moore.
