Reversing the Decline: How to Fix the UK Economy | Shanker Singham x Peter McCormack Show
Shanker Singham is a leading trade economist, competition lawyer, and policy expert, known for advising governments on free markets, regulatory reform, and trade policy, and playing a key role in shaping post-Brexit economic strategies for the UK.
In this interview, we discuss the government decisions over the past 25 years have crippled growth, increased debt, and left everyday people struggling. Singham discusses GDP per capita decline, regulatory capture, taxation failures, and why the UK is falling behind the US and even Poland. We also discuss how entrenched elites manipulate policies for their own gain, how over-regulation kills competition, and how Brexit’s economic potential is being squandered.
