Despatch: No Growth, No Progress

from The Capitalist · host CapX

Britain isn’t broken — but it is stuck. In this urgent Despatch, Julia Willemyns, co-founder of the Centre for British Progress, makes the case for boldness over drift. Why has growth stalled? Why does everything feel harder, slower, smaller than it should? And why have both Left and Right abandoned the ambition to build? With sharp insight and a rallying cry for change, Willemyns lays out a compelling vision: one that trades bureaucracy for dynamism, timidity for courage, and economic stagnation for social progress. If Britain wants to lead again, it has to learn how to build again. Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster. Go to capx.co to subscribe. Hosted on Acast.
