Andrew Sentance citing Joni Mitchell

Andrew gave an excellent talk at the CPS, culminating in a line from Joni Mitchell’s Big Yellow Taxi: “You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” (The point being that average annual real GDP growth from the mid-1980s to 2007 in the UK was 3.3%, a much higher figure than I would have guessed.) To whet your appetite for the book, he’s also done a write-up in City AM this morning.
