Nobel-prize-winning economist says US trade deal was a mistake for UK | BBC News

As more details of the trade deal between the UK and United States emerge, we get a view from the Nobel-prize-winning economist and author, Professor Joseph Stiglitz.

He explains to Justin why the deal is a mistake for the UK, why China has a better strategy against President Trump’s tariffs, and how the UK’s deal adversely affects the rest of the world.

Professor Stiglitz is a former Chief Economist at the World Bank, a former chair of the U.S. President’s Economic Council, and his most recent book The Road to Freedom: Economics and the Good Society unpicks what real economic freedom means, and how to achieve it.
