The Political Economy Review 2017

Editor R ICHARD C LANCY

elcome to this year s edition of the Political Economy Review . We have had a rollercoaster ride of a year in politics and economics and our articles reflect that. With essays ranging from the stagnation of the Japanese economy, to ideological questions on free trade and austerity, and topical arguments related to Theresa May, Brexit and terrorism, we have an exciting batch of articles that members of the Remove have worked very hard to write. While this year continues to be dominated by Brexit, at least at home, it has been a strange but fascinating year in the realm of international politics and economics, with the US elections, the continued fallout of the 2008 financial crash, and the ever-deteriorating situation in Syria. Special mention must go to Conor Hughes, who has decided to tackle an extremely difficult question that is very close to Dulwich hearts on the charitable status of private schools, and to Jay Wong, whose excellent essay on the subsidising of job creation in the North of England is also being submitted to the Fitzwilliam College Cambridge Land Economy essay competition. The breadth and depth of this year’s articles only scratch the surface of the ability of the Dulwich Remove in the realm of politics and economics but represent an extremely high quality selection of powerful and interesting pieces. We are also proud of our continued support for the Dulwich College Bursary Appeal, to which all proceeds go. Enjoy reading!
