John’s mission with this initiative is to increase prosperity, growth, and equality by putting a more successful economic future at the heart of British discourse on economic policy.
The British economy is deeply unbalanced and lopsided, which is driving increasing levels of inequality. The UK has deindustrialised to a greater extent than any other developed nation. Its underlying growth rate – at barely one per cent per annum - is not enough to support its future funding challenges.
John Mills seeks to engage with these issues and to contribute to their solution through the Institute for Prosperity initiative. It believes that Britain must raise its sights and reject the very low economic growth rates which have become the new norm. On the contrary, he believes that we should be aiming for a growth rate of at least three per cent per annum based on investment and export-led expansion.
Through the Institute for Prosperity initiative John Mills will engage in a wide range of activities to support the following mission and aims:
The Institute for Prosperity initiative, which is John Mills acting in a personal capacity, is personally and independently funded and underwritten by John Mills.
To support the initiative John will seek views and advice from a small advisory board, made up of economic and policy experts from a variety of fields.
