Can We Be Rich Again? by Jeremy Hunt: 4-star review
Jeremy Hunt outlines a programme to revive UK economic growth through tax cuts, tighter fiscal rules, and eight major supply‑side reforms, arguing that Britain can restore its strength by leveraging institutional integrity, openness and technological capacity. While acknowledging flaws such as underestimating entrenched resistance to reform, the analysis is praised for clarity, honesty about past mistakes and its practical roadmap for improved productivity, planning reform, education, regional governance, energy production and entrepreneurship. The book contends that the UK can accelerate growth by borrowing successful policies from comparable democracies, offering guidance for future economic leadership despite the author’s missed opportunities while in office.
