Needing a Better Song to Sing : Seeking a New Economic Narrative - Professor Richard Murphy

The UK's leading forum for international politics and global issues, founded in 1980. Needing a Better Song to Sing : Seeking a New Economic Narrative - Professor Richard Murphy If you’re ready to move beyond economic myths and challenge the rigged system shaping British politics, then let’s rethink what our economy could be. Richard Murphy is currently Emeritus Professor of Accounting Practice at Sheffield University Management School, a regular blogger at Funding the Future (http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/) and YouTuber (https://www.youtube.com/@RichardJMurphy). He is also an economics columnist on The National newspaper. Richard was formerly a Professor of International Political Economy at City, University of London, and was a chartered accountant in practice for more than forty years alongside these other activities. As a co-founder of the Tax Justice Network, he created the system of country-by-country reporting that has transformed the way in which multinational corporations are taxed to bring to an end their abuse of tax havens. Richard combines practical and real-world experience of economics, political economy, accounting and tax, which he uses to explains how he thinks the real world works, with a particular bias towards meeting the needs of those outside the top 10% of income earners and wealth holders.
