Britain faces a decade of major public policy challenges that could reduce economic performance to nearer that of struggling Italy, and increase inequality to the level of Bulgaria, Europe’s powerhouse, a think-tank said on Tuesday (18 May).
The Resolution Foundation said Britain had to address problems linked to Brexit on top of those faced by other countries including the impact of COVID-19, the transition to a net-zero carbon economy, an ageing population and technological change.
The 2020s will be the decisive decade during which the UK will face 5 key challenges: Brexit, the Covid aftermath, Net Zero, technological change & an ageing population. The Economy 2030 Inquiry, launched today, explores and tackles these seismic changes: https://t.co/Ge5eZPvfchpic.twitter.com/NX4GipCSmF
I had a chance to participate in a hunting dog trial. Birds were placed in the field with their legs tied together so they couldnât run. They hid in the cover in which they were placed each placement marked by a small flag.
The first dog on trial used her nose to find the first bird, held point and when the bird was flushed and shot, retrieved it. The second bird likewise. To find the third, the dog simply ran to the next flag.
In searching for value, people have done the same thing as the dog. They run to the flag of money. Money is a means of exchange, its value is what it can buy. Bitcoins and dollars are like flags in the dog trial, they are not the birds. The collection of marker flags in the checking account of a deceased person only indicates that personâs love for marker flags.
