Simon Lincoln Reader and Frans Cronje discuss the UK's Potential for Recovery

In this clip from Makin Sense, Simon Lincoln Reader and Dr Frans Cronje discuss a future scenario for the United Kingdom (UK) that has been proposed by the CEO of Goldman Sachs, Jamie Dimon, and the CEO of Blackstone, Stephen A Schwarzman. Dimon and Schwarzman propose that the UK electorate’s reaction to the deleterious policies of their Labour government will be to elect a government that has the opposite policy platform. They posit that the new government, probably led by Nigel Farage, could bring about a series of hardline reforms necessary to stabilise the UK's budget and restore social trust. The discussion concludes on the note that, in the panic of the current moment, analysts might be underestimating the long-term upside of the UK.
