The Tyranny of Nostalgia: Half a Century of British Economic Decline


1030-1130, Tuesday 1 October 2024 | Watershed, Bristol

An 'in conversation' with Bethan Staton (Financial Times) and Russell Jones as Jones introduces his book The Tyranny of Nostalgia: Half a Century of British Economic Decline. He describes and interprets the economic and political history of the past half a century, examining the challenges confronted by successive governments and their Chancellors, the policies employed for good or ill, and – running through it all – the desperate search for a panacea that could arrest the nation’s relative decline and return the country to its supposed former glories.
