Recommendation
Across the developed world, elected leaders are grappling with economic and political upheavals. Tumultuous events such as Brexit, the 2016 US presidential election and European populist turmoil demonstrate that many citizens feel betrayed by their governments’ failure to deliver across-the-board economic progress. Trade union expert John Evans explains the forces behind the current malaise. He points to the need for government-centric solutions to reduce high structural unemployment and shrink income inequality gaps to reignite economic expansion. getAbstract recommends Evans’s insightful article to policy makers, executives and investors interested in exploring ways to achieve robust economic revival.
