A new economic consensus has emerged in London, one that challenges Donald Trump's isolationist views on trade and capitalism. The London consensus proposes a more inclusive approach to economic policy, prioritizing collective well-being over individual gain.
In stark contrast to Trump's America First agenda, the London consensus advocates for tariff-free trade, anti-trust laws, and anti-corruption measures. It also rejects the emphasis on deregulation and privatization, which Trump has enthusiastically supported. Instead, the London consensus promotes policies that promote social mobility, reduce inequality, and ensure access to essential services like healthcare.
The authors of the book behind this new consensus argue that economic progress is not just about GDP growth, but also about individual wellbeing and societal cohesion. They contend that neglecting mental health, loneliness, and community involvement can have devastating consequences for individuals and society as a whole.
The London consensus has been endorsed by politicians from various countries, including Nigel Farage, Alice Weidel, Jordan Bardella, Giorgia Meloni, and Keir Starmer. It is seen as a timely response to the growing economic anxiety affecting middle-income households worldwide.
The book's authors propose a more nuanced approach to economic policy, one that balances individual freedom with collective responsibility. They argue that prioritizing the wellbeing of all citizens, rather than just a privileged few, can lead to more sustainable and equitable economic growth.
As the US grapples with its own economic woes, the London consensus offers an alternative vision for economic policy. One that prioritizes people over profits, and promotes a more inclusive and sustainable approach to economic development.
The implications of this new economic consensus are far-reaching. If taken seriously, it could lead to significant changes in how governments approach economic policy, and potentially shift the global conversation around what truly matters in terms of economic success.
