Laffer, inventor of the Laffercurve; policy campaigner Matthew Elliott; businessman Michael Hintze; andfounder of the Centre for Economics and Business Research Douglas McWilliams.   Itbegins by setting out the principles of ideal economic policy - the 'NorthStar' of prosperity through growth - and applies them to the UK's currentposition. The thinking takes account of the age of autocracy and AI, in whichpolitical decisions in democracies are constrained and talented andentrepreneurial people are increasingly mobile, making economic incentives evenmore important.   Thefinal section draws on interviews with more than thirty economicdecision-makers from the worlds of business, politics and the civil service,including five Prime Ministers and nine Chancellors. The interviews giveinsights into the economic and political causes of low growth and provide astrategy for implementing a pro-growth agenda.   Speciallycommissioned research shows how the UK is forecast to slide down the league tableof GDP per capita over the next twenty-five years. The book argues that such aslide is not inevitable and outlines a fully costed and modelled '24\/7 GrowthPlan' to show how the decline can be averted.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56419996336501,"sku":"9781785909467","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781785909467.jpg?v=1786025540"},{"product_id":"ten-years-on","title":"Ten Years On","description":"\"The key missing piece in the Brexit story\" Tim Shipman, TheSpectator | \"A wonderful read from one of the most quietlyinfluential people in politics in recent decades.\" Chris Mason, BBCThe 2016 Brexitreferendum caused a political earthquake, with aftershocks that are still beingfelt a decade later.

We describe ourselves and our experiences in terms of how we feel.   In the New Testament, Jesus and Paul displayed a wide range of emotions in their lives and teaching. Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards and others have recognized the vital importance of emotion in Christian experience. However, in recent times, many preachers and theologians have pushed emotion to the sidelines. The relationship between reason and emotion can be confused or obscure in much of our thinking. We need to look afresh at the causes, nature and role of felt experience in Christian living.   In this significant new study, Matthew Elliott asks 'What is an emotion?', and applies recent studies of emotion to the New Testament. While he discusses the vocabulary of emotion - love, joy, hope, jealousy, fear, sorrow, anger - his primary concern is with emotion itself, how it was perceived by the New Testament writers in their cultural context, and what role they thought it should play in the lives of Christian believers. He argues that our feelings play an essential role in Christian faith, theology and ethics.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57490237653365,"sku":"9781844740796","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781844740796.jpg?v=1786442122"},{"product_id":"advanced-commodity-marketing","title":"Advanced Commodity Marketing","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis groundbreaking textbook fills a critical gap in agricultural economics by offering the first comprehensive treatment of advanced commodity marketing and risk management tailored specifically for agricultural students and practitioners.
