The Lies We Were Told

Politics, Economics, Austerity and Brexit

By: Wren-Lewis, Simon

“This is a book you should read, for understanding what went wrong in the past is our only hope of doing better in the future?” - Paul Krugman, Nobel prize-winner Why did governments adopt austerity policies, and why were they so harmful? Why did the media largely ignore the experts who opposed these policies, and allow politicians to get away with lies? And why did voters choose Brexit when the economic consensus was that it would harm living standards? Simon Wren-Lewis, winner of the SPERI/New Statesman Prize for Political Economy, is one of Britain's most respected economists. Since 2012, his widely-read Mainly Macro blog has been an influential resource for policymakers, academics and social commentators around the world. This book presents some of his most important work, telling the story of how the damaging political and economic events of recent years became inevitable.

Restoring Japan's Economic Growth

By: Adam Simon Posen

Criticism of current Japanese macroeconomic and financial policies is so wide spread that the reasons for it are assumed to be self-evident. In this volume, Adam Posen explains in depth why a shift in Japanese fiscal and monetary policies, as well as financial reform, would be in Japan's self-interest. He demonstrates that Japanese economic stagnation in the 1990s is the result of mistaken fiscal austerity and financial laissez-faire rather than a structural decline of the "Japan Model." The author outlines a program for putting the country back on the path to solid economic growth - primarily through permanent tax cuts and monetary stabilization - and draws broader lessons from the recent Japanese policy actions that led to the country's continuing stagnation.

Estimates of Equilibrium Exchange Rates for Sterling Against the Euro

This Study Has Been Prepared by Professor Simon Wren-Lewis of the University of Exeter to Inform the Assessment of the Five Economic Tests

By: Simon Wren-Lewis

This publication is part of a set of 18 documents which have been prepared by H.M. Treasury to inform the assessment of the Government's five economic tests for Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) entry into the euro area. This study examines the determinants of the equilibrium exchange rate (EER) and the implications for sterling in the medium term. It also provides some new estimates based on a model specifically designed to calculate an EER for the euro sterling rate, as well as considering how sensitive the EER is to alternative assumptions.
