The Financial:
LSE Commission calls for a new focus on investment for future prosperity

1 February 2013

Skills, infrastructure and innovation are the essential drivers of the productivity growth on which the UK's future prosperity depends. So while there are understandable concerns about the currently flat-lining economy, it is even more important to focus on vital long-term investments in these three areas. That requires stable and well-informed policy frameworks anchored in a broad political consensus on a new vision for growth. As the London School of Economics and Political Science said, these are among the conclusions of the London School of Economics (LSE) Growth Commission, which publishes its final report today. 'Investing in Prosperity: Skills, Infrastructure and Innovation' is based on evidence taken in a series of public sessions from leading researchers, business people, policy-makers and UK citizens.
