Prosperity

Welcome to The Prosperity Campaign

A new vision of prosperity, a vision for transforming the entire UK economy and society in a new direction. Here are Michael Bond’s articles and presentations of this new vision of how the British economy and society might be transformed by unleashing the real productive and creative potential of British innovative, creative, productive talent across the whole country.

For a hundred years or more Britain has suffered from a lack of vision, whether in public or private sectors, that could unleash the full talent of the country. Despite the occasional moment of glory, whether through the enormous transformations of Great War and the investments in science and technology, or through the enormous stimulus of North Sea Oil pumping vast investment into UK manufacturing, there has been no long term, sustained wave of transformation. Rather, the conservative approach of pre-industrial policies have held firm against the pressure of progress, causing the loss of numerous opportunities for new industrial revolution to lift the country to new golden heights of prosperity for all.

This must end and a new path forged for a new, greater prosperity for the benefit of everyone. This is the basis of Michael Bond’s new vision of prosperity.
