How much does Britain cost?

from RSA Events · host Paul Johnson, Anoosh Chakelian

Government decisions determine the welfare of the poor and elderly, the state of our health service, the shape of the education system and much more. This spending power is funded by layers of taxes that touch all corners of our income, savings, and spending habits. Look closely at taxation and you’ll find winners, losers and a system that is sorely in need of reform.Join Paul Johnson, Director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, for this systemic examination of how the government collects and spends the money needed to run the economy. Paul will follow the money to see where it comes from, who it goes to, how that’s changed in recent years and what reforms are needed to meet new, costly challenges that lie on the horizon.#RSAeconomyBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/udI9xDonate to The RSA: https://utm.guru/udNNBFollow RSA Events on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rsa_events/Follow the RSA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RSAEventsLike RSA Events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rsaeventsofficialJoin our Fellowship: https://www.thersa.org/fellowship/join
