About this episode

Lord Malcolm Offord joins me to discuss why Britain and Scotland are spending more, taxing more and regulating more - while ordinary people feel poorer, public services feel worse, and voters increasingly believe nothing changes. Offord argues that Britain has not created real wealth for a generation. He explains why Scotland is a warning sign for the rest of the UK, why state spending has risen without improving services, how quantitative easing protected asset owners and locked out young people, and why the choice ahead is between a welfare economy and a wealth economy.
