Few figures in modern British politics have operated as close to the centre of power as Michael Gove.
Over more than a decade in government, he has held some of the most senior offices of state – including Education Secretary, Justice Secretary and Secretary of State for Levelling Up, shaping policy across domestic reform, economic strategy and the future of the Union.
Now, at a moment of continued economic uncertainty at home and instability abroad, Gove joins us for the Intelligence Squared Economic Outlook. On October 19, he will reflect on the forces reshaping Britain’s economic landscape. How resilient is the UK economy after a prolonged period of inflation, fiscal pressure and sluggish growth? What should a credible long-term strategy for productivity and investment look like? And how should Britain position itself in a more fragmented global economy, defined by geopolitical tension in the Middle East, energy insecurity and shifting trade alliances?
Join us live at Smith Square Hall, gain a deeper understanding of the choices facing Britain today and to put your questions to one of the country’s most experienced political figures in the audience Q&A. This event is presented in partnership with Guinness Global Investors
