Caveman with a Computer Resurfaces in Brexit Debate
21st August 2017
Patrick Minford has produced a report that suggests a UK economy fully liberated from the EU stands to make significant macroeconomic gains.
Minford argues that free trade benefits consumers directly from lower prices and puts pressure on businesses to raise productivity and reduce their unit costs.
It didn't take long for the bulk of the Economics profession to wade in and criticise his assumptions and forecasts!
Monique Ebell, Economist at NIESR and the ESRC Centre for Macroeconomics goes head to head with Minford on BBC radio 4.
