#055 - Shanker Singham - How to Fix the UK Economy

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.
