For too long, UK decision-makers have prioritised economic growth for the country over the economic security of its people. The relationship between the two has been viewed largely as sequential and one-directional, with the former seen as a necessary precondition for the latter.
It is clear this approach has failed on its own terms, and our argument is straightforward: a strong economy and a thriving society are deeply interconnected. While meaningful social change requires economic reform, a resilient economy also depends on a fair and stable social foundation.
This event will explore the following key questions:
- Economic growth vs. economic security
- One-directional thinking
- Failure of the current approach
- Mutual dependence of economy & society
- The need for economic reform
- The importance of social stability
