How did the UK transitionfrom being the world’s workshop to having the dependent, service-driven economyof today, prone to severe negative shocks and daunting economic challenges? In an urgent reality checkthat will embarrass politicians from all parties, hugely experienced economistsVicky Pryce and Andy Ross track the forces that have shaped the UK economysince the Industrial Revolution. Drawing on extensive front-line policy experience,they tackle complex issues such as the reaction to globalisation and the legacyof deindustrialisation; the responses to Brexit, Covid and the war in Ukraine;the impacts of climate change, inequality and immigration; and whether the lackof investment and low growth of recent years were, in fact, inevitable. Rather than placatingpopulist sentiments with false promises, politicians must now be honest withthe public about the difficult road ahead. After all, there will be no suddeneconomic reset. Advocating pragmatic solutions over political dogma, MismanagedDecline proves that good economics heeds no ideology. At a time of risinggeopolitical uncertainty, this balanced, non-partisan account offers ablueprint for a stronger, fairer and more resilient economy.

“Foxed by the dilemmas facing our economy?Here is a history and a present-day analysis making sense of it all, writtenwith glowing clarity and deep understanding by two wise economists. Learn whatwent wrong and read their lucid explanation of what can put it right.” PollyToynbee, journalist and author “No one should comment onBritish economic policy without having read this book.” Professor Sir John Kay, economist, fellow ofSt John’s College, Oxford, and author of The Corporation in the Twenty-FirstCentury “Political debates on theBritish economy tend to become unedifying ‘Punch and Judy’ arguments whichdisregard the long-term structural factors affecting economic growth and theexternal shocks over which governments have little control. This book is a criticalbut fair account of past government performance and future options, which alsotakes proper account of what is both possible and realistic.” Sir Vince Cable, Leaderof the Liberal Democrats 2017–19 “This book is an absolutemust for anyone who is concerned about the UK’s industrial decline and wants todo something about it.” Professor Tony Travers, London School of Economics
