npub1g0tuf634rz4suczwj7kgnecr6cyt0eu9xmp3sp0fku68mqehq4msp3tvm4 (npub1g0t…tvm4) A very fair point. Relative size of economy has mattered in terms of power relations - analysis by Tooze on the world wars is the prime example - but says little or nothing about efficiency, living standards and wellbeing. Truth is that the #uk has become poorer than a number of sensibly-run countries - mainly in Europe - in a way that was not the case in the 1950s or 1960s - or even albeit briefly the 2000s!
