> who stands to benefit from government investments in largescale infrastructure projects
I'm unsure if there's anyone in the country who wouldn't benefit from that. Hell, you can even wipe "government away", the essay talks at length about re-enabling private infrastructure investment too.
And who doesn't like infrastructure investment?
- seanhunter 2y agoI would say most people benefit from working infrastructure. What we have seen in the last decade or so is a lot of government spending on infrastructure analysis (eg the "levelling up" agenda which brought spending mostly in London - the exact opposite of the stated intent or HS2 which has seen 15bn of spend mostly on slideware and consultants) without much in the way of actual infrastructure being developed. There is unquestionably a large swathe of the UK (in particular the North, North East and most of Wales) which would benefit tremendously from improved infrastructure.
