This report from UK think tank Labour Together looks at a new type of state with more energy and the will to get things done.
In a new paper by Morgan Wild and Peter Hyman, they argue that for today’s times, a new type of state is needed. One that has more energy and will to get things done rather than slow things down, one that recognises centrally planning the government is as bad as centrally planning the economy, and one which is designed to solve wicked problems rather than manage them. We might call this the dynamic state.
