The geography of failure

Article Abstract:

It is widely recognized that there is a significant gap in economic performance between the North and the South in the UK, with the economy of the South being much stronger than that of the North. Furthermore, there are strong divergences in economic performance between cities and regions that are quite close together.

Internet share-trading will play a role in allowing ordinary people to acquire a stake in this wealth. It is also worth considering other approaches, including creating individual retirement accounts, permitting people to place money tax-free into share portfolios which they could select themselves, and forming shadow share-ownership schemes for public sector employees.
