As governments across the UK start to lift lockdown restrictions, a debate is gathering about how to support those communities that have been most badly affected and how to promote economic renewal. These challenges arise in the context of the UK government’s commitment to ‘levelling up’ Britain’s ‘left-behind’ towns.

This report explores who is driving community decline and exposes a startling insight - that the fraying of Britain’s social fabric may be in large part a generational problem.

The piece focuses on how the economics of market liberalism is incapable of addressing social injustice and how we need a fundamental reset to the UK's political economy. The article comments on the ideas contained within The Everyday Economy, a publication by Rachel Reeves MP, and acknowledges the important role that everyday economic sectors (such as retail, care, transport and utilities) play, and the usefulness of these sectors as an entry point to turning back the market-liberal tide through more democratic control and new forms of ownership. However, the article highlights how new economics must go even further in terms of correcting wealth extraction, with a much deeper intentional reform of state institutions. Included within that is the need to embrace new civic activism as a means to advance democratic economic ownership and economic justice, thus sustainably reversing the market-liberal hold on our economy.
