Political Economy Review. We hope you enjoy the diverse range of articles and reports detailing the political and economic thoughts and reports of the Remove year at Dulwich College. This year’s edition has been dominated by the UK’s momentous decision to leave the European Union: from essays focusing on political issues such as the effect of increasing refugee acceptance and the hypothesizing of new methods of refugee re- distribution to the more important question of what the price of strawberries will now be. Although the outcome of the referendum didn’t quite go the way many of the boys had hoped (a College poll of 346 boys and staff put remain ahead 74.9% to 25.1%) it will at the very least shape textbooks and curriculums for generations of economics and politics students to come. In this edition of the PER, students dabble in topics as wide ranging as the French infatuation with calling strikes, to the justification of austerity, to the price of housing across the country, with clarity and thought-provoking economic analysis. With many of these essays set to be submitted to prestigious competitions such as the RES Essay Prize or the Cambridge R.A Butler Prize, they truly are of the highest calibre. As ever, we are proud to be supporting the Dulwich College Bursary Appeal which helps to ensure that the education of future and current Alleynians is continuously supported regardless of their parents’ ability to pay the fees.
