Jeremy Hunt, the former chancellor delivers a convincing and optimistic and detail blueprint for growth- and a candid assessment of his own time in government. Jeremy Hunt on how to fix the UK Economy. In recent years, a succession of economic shocks has led to low growth, stagnant living standards and divided politics. As debt and taxes have risen to record levels, many worry that the UK Economy is stuck in a low-growth trap with ruinous implications for future generations. Jeremy Hunt who was the Chancellor during one of those shocks and successfully navigated the economy out of both inflation and recession. He argues that despite widespread pessimism, Britain still has a lot going for it – the third largest technology ecosystem in the world, a huge financial services sector, globally admired universities and respected institutions. What’s more, the solutions to our economic malaise are in plain sight if we were willing to learn from what works elsewhere. Can We Be Rich Again is a compelling recipe for growth from the man who pulled Britain back from the abyss in October 2022, against all odds to the usual gloom-mongering about the British economy. This book is a compelling vision of the UK as a low-tax, innovative, strongly-growing economy which can compete with the world’s best.
