Every fix for Western economies seems to demand the same trade-off: pain now for prosperity later, or prosperity now for pain later. Join former Conservative Chancellor Jeremy Hunt and the Labour Government’s Pensions Minister Torsten Bell as they debate across the political divide on which trade-offs are actually worth making. Spend or save? Cut or invest? Two men who've made these calls from inside government go head-to-head on the actual path forward.
"[Hunt is] someone who knows better than anyone how power is most effectively deployed." – Andy Haldane
"[Bell is] stellar: brilliant, incredibly pragmatic." – Rory Stewart
