There has been a welcome confluence of opinion from both the left and right regarding the neo-liberal, balance sheet’ approach to fiscal policy shared by Labour and Conservative governments since Thatcher .
The fact that there is this convergence on diagnosing the issue is significant because it makes UK Government orthodoxy (red and blue) look shaky.
Many of the aspects on the Foundations paper could equally be applied to Scotland .
Scotland can build a stronger and more productive economy while transitioning to net zero and creating a fairer society.
I have written before in this column about the whole raft of industrial policies that seek to bring together the thorny challenges of domestic prosperity, energy transition and over-reliance on autocratic regimes like China .
Unfortunately, it seems the new Labour government has failed in its first opportunity to avoid the sort of Treasury brain' thinking that has seen the UK slip to the bottom of OECD rankings on investment.
