UK is the only developed country where workers are getting poorer while the country is getting richer

Posted on March 7, 2017 by Lin • Posted in #MLKGlobal, Attlee Nation, Blog, What interests us • Tagged Austerity, Economy, Neoliberalism, UK


Between 2007 and 2015, the UK was the only big advanced economy in which wages contracted while the economy expanded. In most other countries, including France and Germany, both the economy and wages have grown.

How wages fell in the UK while the economy grew

Time Person of the Year Clement Attlee

https://attleenation.org

Our Attlee Remembered weekend festival in October 2017 will explore how, 70 years ago, politicians did push back powerful vested interests for a caring social democracy as Clement Attlee’s government oversaw the largest and most wide-ranging social reform programme. Despite being in the most difficult of times, his 1945-51 administration laid down the foundation for the subsequent rapidly rising living standards, decreasing inequality and growing prosperity. How many of us know this history? What lessons we can bring forward for today’s ‘austerity’ debate.
