An increase in the prices of food products (19.2%). The BoE hikes its rates from December 2021 to try to prevent a sharp rise in the cost of living. Although inflation fell significantly in April, it still stood at 8.7%, well above the UK’s target of 2%. Several reasons have been put forward to explain the recent rise in prices: Central banks printed Too much currency, energy prices are skyrocketing due to wars in other countries. The current government and the governor of the Bank of England claim that wage increases are at the root of inflation. However, my research, carried out with James Midway of the Progressive Economy Forum and Doug Nicholls of the General Confederation of Trade Unions, suggests that price rises in the UK are more likely to be caused by higher profits, falling wages and lower productivity. for decades. salary negotiation From the mid to late 1970s, unions were able to negotiate wages through organized collective bargaining at the national level. These were working class sectors, usually represented by a union, who negotiated wages and working conditions with their company. Thereafter, the difference between Income There was clearly less trade and labor and Great Britain was a more equal society in terms of income. Since then, a concerted assault on collective bargaining at the national level has markedly weakened the ability of wage workers to protect the value of their wages while at least keeping pace with inflation. At the same time, income inequalities have risen sharply and are expected to reach record levels by 2027. Research shows that there is an inverse relationship between the number of people organized in unions and their ability to resort to collective bargaining. , and the concentration of wealth in the hands of the richest class on the other. The working class is beginning to feel this today, which may explain the recent support for strike actions with which unions have tried to realistically maintain wage levels in the face of persistent inflation. But it is also important to be aware of the deeper historical and strategic factors which have led to the relatively high level of inflation in the UK. Without addressing these issues, Britain will not be able to get out of the current livability crisis. an industrial power station The first Industrial Revolution that began in the 18th century made the country one of the leading producers of manufactured goods: workshop of the world, The United Kingdom was a great industrial power for more than a century, producing everything from cruise ships to some of the earliest computer programs. However, in the 1980s, Thatcherism reduced productive industry and skill development by shrinking entire sectors of the economy, such as steel, car manufacturing and coal production. At the same time, the government eased financial regulation and removed controls on money flow out of the country, thus strengthening the financial empire. The British economy thus isolated itself from its industrial centers such as the Midlands, while the political and economic power of banks and financial companies increased. Relying so heavily on the production of goods ceased to be profitable. The British manufacturing industry has been in decline since the 1960s, both in terms of employment and production, and relative to other similar countries. The UK economy has lost ground to countries such as the US, France and Germany due to a lack of investment by companies over the decades, leading to a decline in productivity. That historic blow to the United Kingdom’s productive system meant that when demand for goods rose after the Covid crisis, national production capacity was insufficient, requiring the country to resort to imports to respond to demand. The cost of the most basic products and services we need – food, energy and housing – has skyrocketed. These basic necessities, which represent a relatively small portion of our spending, have become unaffordable for millions of people. Of course, price controls can help reduce this inflation. But we also need to address the underlying weaknesses that fuel inflation in the long run. This will require a new British industrial policy as well as workforce development plans. Restrictions on banks, investment funds and large companies in terms of moving production and money (outside the country) will help strengthen domestic investment. New approaches to public financing through organizations such as the central bank would also reduce dependence on private banks. Rather than realizing that its mission is focused on profit and inflation control, for example, the Bank of England should focus on supporting investment by directing funds to specific sectors, especially manufacturing. Extreme liberalization of market forces in Britain in the 1980s resulted in unprecedented privatization and sale of public assets, large-scale de-industrialisation and deregulation of the financial sector. The ensuing years saw the systematic enactment of anti-union legislation and the disintegration of collective bargaining, which put continued downward pressure on wages, as wage earners had fewer means to oppose the patrons of unions. The economic and political power of the companies was strengthened. As a result, large companies were able to reap windfall profits, often with additional support from the government, particularly in the form of tax breaks and subsidies. Unions have recently accused the majors of For profit About the cost of life crisis. In response to these criticisms some supermarkets have started reducing their prices. In any case, no tax on windfall profits or any subsidy to households will be able to end the current run for profits at the expense of wages. Big structural changes are needed. Otherwise, the current toxic combination of low investment, low productivity and high inflation threatens to plunge the country into disaster. 05/26/2023 i found it Translation: Air South Kostas is Lapvitas Professor at SOAS, University of London.
