Product Information

We aim to make all LSE events available as a podcast subject to receiving permission from the speaker/s to do this, and subject to no technical problems with the recording of the event. He examines the way that the government tackled the economy during Covid - when the UK budget shot up to over a trillion for the first time - and he analyses prospects for our future as we grapple with looming recession and the cost of living crisis. Every politician should get a copy, as the tales of short-sighted, election-fixated, cowardly decision-making are so depressing. Johnson uses his talent for crunching the complex into the comprehensible to produce a cheerfully skeptical guide to the British state, revealing it's wisdom and idiocy, and where our money really goes. Their approach creates professionals with the ability to analyse, understand and resolve the challenges of contemporary governance.

We are experiencing delays with deliveries to many countries, but in most cases local services have now resumed. This is an important book by the economist who has set the terms of so much political debate over the past decade. Paul has worked and published extensively on the economics of public policy, with a particular focus on income distribution, public finances, pensions, tax, social security, education and climate change. Join us for this event with Paul Johnson from the Institute for Fiscal Studies who will be talking about his new book, Follow the Money.
