Why the UK economy is struggling to find its productive gears
In short: The UK's economic growth is stalling, and the cause is a complex puzzle. This talk explores why productivity has lagged behind global trading partners and what it means for the future of the nation's economy.
Jagjit Chadha, a prominent macroeconomist and former Professor of Commerce at Gresham College, examines the stagnation of UK productivity. He argues that because there is little to no growth in either labor or total factor productivity, the UK faces a fundamental economic crisis that cannot be solved by simple measures.
The discussion investigates various structural drivers, including the role of the finance sector and the effective employment of both physical and human capital. By analyzing these factors, Chadha provides context on why a return to 'normal' economic times remains elusive.
