Growth has now completely stalled in those western\ndemocracies, the UK included, where high government spending and high taxes\nhave steadily burgeoned, decade after decade. Free-market economies now\nthreaten to leave us behind in terms of wealth, opportunity and standards of\nliving. At the end of Rishi Sunak's 2024 government, expenditure was at 45 per\ncent of GDP and taxes were 36 per cent and rising - yet still nowhere near\nsufficient to cover public expenditure. The government's net annual borrowing\nis now a completely unsustainable 4.4 per cent of GDP, with our overall\nnational debt growing rapidly and alarmingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this arresting and powerful manifesto for economic\nchange, Jon Moynihan analyses the UK's decades-long stagnant economy and looks\nat what can be done to resuscitate it. Combining rigorous research with\nunparalleled business experience, he explores the key dynamics affecting\neconomic growth, ranging from government borrowing, expenditure, tax and\nregulation to the way national resources are deployed on non-productive and\nfutile, growth-stifling endeavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately, Moynihan shows that unless we act now to reverse\nthe decline, by radically restructuring our economy to stimulate economic\ngrowth, the UK risks stagnation, financial collapse and a long-term\ndisintegration in our standard of living. Ignore his warning at your\nperil.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardback | 512 pages | Published September 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biteback Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63956794769757,"sku":"9781785909030","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9781785909030.jpg?v=1783130703","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/return-to-growth","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
