The Turbulent Landscape of Scottish Politics w/ Laurie Macfarlane

Welcome to Election Economics, a Macrodose bonus series that we’re running in the lead up to the UK general election on July 4th. 

Over the coming weeks James Meadway will be joined by a selection of economists, politicians and commentators to unpack what the campaigns’ policies and pledges mean for people in Britain.

Today we’re joined by Laurie Macfarlane. Laurie is an economist, a fellow at the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose, University College London, and the co-author of Rethinking the Economics of Land and Housing, published in 2017. 

Most recently, Laurie is the co-founder and co-director of Future Economy Scotland, a non-partisan think tank that aims to create a new economy for Scotland - one that is democratic, sustainable and just.
