Alan Manning Centre for Economic Performance LSE
Need efficient state so Trade Unions need to show selfless not selfish side
Regulate labour market through individual rights- don’t prevent change
Conclusions • Squeeze on middle, not time for redistribution to poorest • Generate more anger about rich, robust policy towards them • Work with trade unions to protect efficient public services but be wary of them • Don’t attempt to prevent change, mitigate its consequences
