Blog: Towards an Empowering State: Turning Inclusive growth into a global reality

by Gabriela Ramos, OECD Chief of Staff and Sherpa to the G20

The economic hardship of the last nine years has created many casualties, but chief among them has been trust – the glue that holds our societies together. Trust between different groups of people, and trust in institutions has plunged to record lows, with public belief in governments in [...]

Blog: Welcome to the Future of Political Economy

by Liam Byrne MP, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Inclusive Growth

In the US, new research shows that in the rust-belt states an incredible 40% of those born in 1980 are worse off than their parents. Here in the UK the gender pay gap still looms large – and as the Institute for Fiscal Studies revealed, there has been a four-fold increase in the number of […]

Blog: The difference between economic growth, and economic growth for all

by Alison McGovern MP, Vice-Chair of the APPG on Inclusive Growth

It’s easy to look away from numbers. The data doesn’t necessarily tell us an obvious story. And then one day, a catalyst sparks an unforeseen, if, with hindsight, predictable event, and we all wonder why we didn’t see it coming. Something similar happened with the Brexit vote. Of course, it was [...]

Blog: We need to rethink economic policy to bring prosperity to the whole country

by Michael Jacobs, Director of the IPPR Commission on Economic Justice

In the US, real median household income is barely higher now than it was in 1990 – despite growth of around 80 per cent in GDP in the same period. In the UK, half of all households have seen no meaningful increase in their incomes since 2005. Before taxes and benefits, only 10 per cent […]

Blog: Globalisation and Inclusive Growth: the challenges for governments and business

by Caroline Spelman MP, Vice-Chair of the APPG on Inclusive Growth

Those affected have been described euphemistically as ‘left behind’. It is not the case that global liberal elites have wilfully ignored this looming problem. Indeed, there have been attempts to help the low-waged, tax credits with a minimum wage in the UK and America’s efforts to provide [...]

Blog: Social Policy: a vital partner in any inclusive growth strategy

by Hannah Lambie-Mumford, Research Fellow at Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute (SPERI)

The inclusive growth agenda provides a unique opportunity to reconnect people with the economy and build a fairer, more equitable society. As we work towards this, however, social policy will necessarily need to play a central role; keeping focus on the needs and aspirations of all people, [...]

Blog: Inclusive Growth – a new agenda

by George Freeman MP, Chair of the Prime Minister’s Policy Board

Eight years after the Great Crash it is becoming clear that the long term impacts of the crisis profoundly challenges the model of economy – and politics – we have become used to. Asset inflation and technological revolutions are entrenching untold wealth for a small global elite. [...]

Blog: Inclusive growth: the challenge of our time

by Colin Hay, Co-Director of the Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute (SPERI)

Indeed, isn’t such a commitment logically entailed by the very suggestion that we are all in it together – shared pain; sharing the gain? Put like this inclusive growth might seem a very modest and unobjectionable request. And, morally, of course it is. But in economic terms, inclusive growth [...]
