The Economist | Labour's pains: Britain’s growth problem @TheEconomist | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
As Britain’s general-election campaign heats up, party leaders are vague on their economic plans (economist.com/britain/2024/06/03/can-britains-economy-grow-as-fast-as-it-needs-to). With growth so slow, how could the victor energise the economy? We visit the D-day beaches 80 years on, as war rages in Europe once again (10:19). And Venice’s new daytripper fee (economist.com/culture/2024/05/13/venices-new-admission-fee-cannot-curb-overtourism) is designed to curb crowds. But putting a price on protecting beauty is proving controversial (17:42).
