Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

It has not been a good year for homo economicus, rational economic man. American voters elected (narrowly) a president who believes that climate change is a myth and that tearing up trade deals will boost growth and jobs. Britons voted (narrowly) in the referendum on EU membership to set the country on a path that 90 per cent of professional economists said would damage the economy over the medium to long term.
