Banks and steel: thorny problems in economic theory
5th April 2016
The potential closure of the Tata steel plants, and the plight of Port Talbot is a tragedy for those directly affected. A key question is: if the banks could be saved, why not steel? From a purely political perspective, the topic has legs. The loyal, hard working Welshmen, fearful for their families’ futures, contrasted with the arrogant pin striped bankers, ripping everyone off. It is a difficult narrative for the government to counter.
