People, places and politics: the challenge of 'levelling up' the UK

Henry Overman

CentrePiece - The magazine for economic performance from Centre for Economic Performance, LSE

Abstract: As has been much discussed since the election, economic performance varies widely among the towns, cities and regions of the UK. Henry Overman argues that policies to address these spatial disparities should be judged on whether they improve individual opportunities, not whether they narrow the gaps between different parts of the country.
