In this episode of MoneyMagpie Invest, Jasmine Birtles speaks with economist Vicky Pryce about UK economic decline, ageing demographics, rising debt, falling productivity, tax policy, pensions, and the long-term future of growth in Britain. We explore why the UK has mismanaged its
transition away from manufacturing, how the ageing population will strain public finances, and what evidence-based policies could revive the economy. Vicky also discusses the core ideas in her new book Mismanaged Decline, including demographics, investment, migration, productivity, skills, industry, and the crippling cost of debt interest. We look at taxes, incentives, welfare, inequality, pensions, and why governments refuse to talk about the coming crisis. This is a deep dive into the real
issues facing Britain - and what needs to change before it’s too late..
