Foreward: bridge to normality

Abstract

Towards the end of 2021, the British economy finally returned to the level of activity it obtained just prior to the emergence of the Covid-19 crisis at the start of 2020. We have thus endured two years without any economic progress and considerable social strain while the new virus ripped through our modern way of life. While it is still "not over for any of us until it ends for all of us", we can start to let our hopes of a return to some semblance of normality dominate those of the despair we have felt at times since early 2020. So, what are the priorities for that normality in a mediumsized advanced economy? They must involve addressing the shortfall in the provision of public goods such as digital infrastructure, vocational education, health and social care, as well as the trade deals we need in light of Brexit. Meaningful regional regeneration must be an objective to help focus the national attention. Ultimately, we think meeting those priorities will require a radical re-design of our political institutions and a re-consideration of regional power.
