Britain’s growth problem is well understood in Westminster. But making the case for growth and the reforms needed to deliver it has proven far more challenging.
Join us at the IEA for the launch of a landmark research project, including a new national poll and focus groups conducted by Freshwater Strategy for the IEA, examining how the British public thinks about economic growth.
The findings offer a unique insight into the political and communications challenge facing any pro-growth agenda.
Our panel will discuss what this research reveals about public attitudes, the risks of misdiagnosing the problem, and what it will take to build a durable, popular mandate for reform.
Speakers
Lord Frost, Director General - IEA
Dr Kristian Niemietz, Editorial Director - IEA
Matthew Lesh, Country Manager - Freshwater Strategy & Public Policy Fellow - IEA
