Why is Britain poor? With Rory Sutherland

For the Spectator Magazine, writer Rory Sutherland explains why in Britain a toxic mix of economics and law has led to a bureaucratic apocalypse. Rory says 'In electing this government, we seem to have picked the worst of both worlds: higher taxation combined with austerity in the public finances'. Kate Andrews speaks to Rory Sutherland about how this red-tape has led to poor politicians and policy-making, and what needs to be done to save the economy. // SUBSCRIBE TO THE SPECTATOR Get 12 issues for £12, plus a free £20 John Lewis/Waitrose voucher https://www.spectator.co.uk/tvoffer // FREE PODCASTS FROM THE SPECTATOR Hear more from The Spectator's journalists on their podcasts, covering everything from the politics of the UK, US and China, to religion, literature, lifestyle and more. https://www.spectator.co.uk/podcasts/ // FOLLOW US https://www.twitter.com/spectator https://www.facebook.com/OfficialSpectator https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-spectator https://www.instagram.com/spectator1828 https://www.tiktok.com/@thespectatormagazine
