Economics for the person on the Mile End Road
Manage episode 437286426 series 3475482
Economics always seem to be written from the perspective of the City of London. Even Labour now seems to only exist to serve its interests. But what would economics look like if it was written from beyond the City’s walls? The Mile End Road runs from the City to the East End of London – the traditional home of its new migrant populations. And at its destination is the place where the Peasants’ Revolt ended in 1381. Its history and its location is precisely why Danny Blanchflower and I call ourselves the Mile End Road economists – creating a perspective on economics that few in the profession dare promote. #uk #money #economic #politics #bank #government #tax #investment #share #business #blogger #labourparty #kierstarmer
