Britain is Broken says President of the Adam Smith Institute

1. The Bank of England 

2. The Treasury

3. Transport

4. The NHS

5. Education

6. Justice

7. Immigration 

8. Housing

9. Social Care

10.  Childcare

11. Welfare

12.  The Pension System

13.  Energy

14.  Regulation

15.  Civil Service

16.  Government

Within the paper, Dr Pirie draws parallels between the present day and the 1970s and outlines his concerns that the current direction of travel is jeopardising the future of young people in particular.
