Nottingham Business Growth Breakfast Series
What does our economic future look like?
Roger Martin-Fagg is a behavioural economist who is skilled at simplifying complex economics matters, making them relevant and bringing the subject alive; he is also renowned for having potentially some highly controversial views. Whether you agree with him or not, you will come away with a greater understanding & some useful insights of how it all works, why things are happening and what may be ahead of us!
The session will not only cover a view of the future – what current indicators tell us about the next three years, but also:
- We will look at AI and discuss the lump of labour fallacy
- We will show why capital spending by Government creates more growth than tax cuts
- We will consider the new PM’s budget and discuss the implications
- And as usual look at the key indicators of economic activity
