Foundations: Why Britain has stagnated is an essay by Ben Southwood (Founder and Editor of Works in Progress and Founder of Create Streets), Samuel Hughes (Research Fellow, Oxford University and Head of Housing at Centre for Policy Studies), and Sam Bowman (Editor, Works in Progress). It explains why the UK's ban on investment in housing, infrastructure and energy is not just a problem. It is *the* problem. The essay unpacks UK's issues around investment, productivity, house building, investment in infrastructure, energy policy, and transport often making comparisons with other OECD countries, especially France.
