How tax really affects growth

from The Capitalist Hosted by CapX

CapX editor Marc Sidwell is joined by economist Andrew Lilico and political strategist John Oxley to unpack a volatile moment in the global economy. From the fallout of Israel’s escalating conflict with Iran to the knock-on effects of surging oil prices, we take stock of the risks facing markets—and what they could mean for Britain. Closer to home, Chancellor Rachel Reeves presses ahead with a £113bn infrastructure plan, even as welfare cuts spark unease within Labour ranks. Plus: Britain’s productivity problem is back in the spotlight. Are we too squeamish about automation—and is now the moment for a bold leap into the robot age?
