The inaugural IPPR Economics Prize focused on economic growth. We wanted to know whether the downward trend in the rate of economic growth could be reversed, and if so, how this can be done.

The runner up prize went to Richard Plackett, who was a leading investor in smaller UK companies over a 25-year career with major investment companies, and Dr George Cooper, chief investment officer of a company he co-founded and the author of two books on economics.
