Overview

Many worry that Britain is stuck in a doom loop of higher debt and higher taxes. In Can We Be Rich Again?, Jeremy Hunt argues that getting out of Britain's low growth is a solvable problem, and that we should approach the country's economic future with optimism. Hunt asks the key questions: How deliverable are the changes we need by a Labour, Conservative or Reform government? How do we get the economy growing despite dangerous levels of debt? How do we sell long term reforms when our leaders have so little political capital? But countering pessimism needs solutions not just assertions, and they need to be realistic - plans that politicians can actually deliver in a democratic system and the majority of the electorate can get behind.
