In their latest book, Economist and Business Consultant Vicky Pryce and Professor Andy Ross track the forces that have shaped the UK economy since the Industrial Revolution. 


Post-war dips into Keynesianism, Monetarism and Exchange Rate Targeting are evaluated.  So, too, are Vicky and Andy’s views on the effects of Brexit, Covid, and the war in Ukraine.  Not to mention the current threat posed by the US/Iranian conflict. And AI. 


And yet this book is also a great read - where else would you find Liz Truss rubbing shoulders with Alf Garnett?

Vicky Pryce is Chief Economic Adviser and a board member at the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR).
