How Andy Burnham Can Finance a Reindustrialised Britain

Andy Burnham is right that Britain has been failed by 40 years of neoliberalism. However, can he deliver on his agenda without suffering the same fate as Liz Truss? Burnham's analysis is spot on. The economy has become ever-more dominated by the City of London, manufacturing's share of Britain's output has shrunk, and living standards are barely any higher than they were before the banking crisis of 2008. For Burnham to succeed, three things need to happen. Firstly, he needs to recognise the limitations of Labour's current approach. Secondly, serious public investment is needed. Thirdly, Burnham needs to be ready for a backlash from the financial markets. Burnham acknowledges the failure of neoliberal policies and stresses the need for radical change. However, implementing this change will not be easy. Burnham needs to show strong political will to break away from neoliberal policies and strengthen the state's role in the economy. Otherwise, the British economy will continue to experience managed decline.
