#167 - Andrew Lilico - Britain Is Poorer Than The Poorest US State
The Peter McCormack Show
Advice for Individuals: Own Your Problems Politically
Andrew urges people to avoid expecting politicians to fix everything and to take personal responsibility politically.
Britain is now poorer than the poorest American state and economist Andrew Lilico says a full-blown fiscal crisis is coming within ten years. He explains how Britain broke itself, why the political establishment lost its faith and the £180 billion in spending cuts he believes should be the baseline, not the radical option.
Andrew Lilico is Executive Director of Europe Economics and Chairman of the IEA Shadow Monetary Policy Committee. He is one of Britain's most prominent economists and a regular voice on UK fiscal policy.
