Miles Saltiel, Senior Fellow

Miles Saltiel’s publications for the Adam Smith Institute include A Manifesto for Lord Mandelson, on dealings with the Trump regime; Homes for All, proposing the use of “Collateralised Assets Participating In The Appreciation of Land” (CAPITALs), to finance and allocate the gain from Green Belt development; On borrowed time, which argued for the reform of “age-related” expenditures to relieve otherwise insupportable fiscal pressure; and No reason to flinch, which argued against insulating the NHS from reform by comparing it to equivalent regimes internationally. He led ASI teams whose proposals on Grexit and Brexit were shortlisted. He also wrote The UK’s €1tn Brexit counter-claim for Civitas and What just happened? (about the 2008 financial crisis) for Policy Exchange.

Miles read PPE at Oxford and wrote his MA dissertation on Japanese business and government at Sussex. He joined GEC-Marconi, working in corporate finance and recoveries, to become no. 2 in Marconi Projects. He then went into investment banking, covering pan-European electronics and emerging markets. As Head of Equity Research, Emerging Markets for the WestLB Group, his teams were top-rated by Extel and Reuters. He then led award winning teams for tech research, was voted one of the UK’s top 50 in the New Economy and became the group’s senior tech banker.
