Tom Forth observes that the economies of Greater Glasgow and Greater Manchester have performed about as well as each other using a specific measure.
He adds that his intention is to prompt reflection on whether narratives in public discourse align with this economic performance.
Forth has previously examined how economic differences between North and South Britain began to emerge in the late 1970s, as shown in his analysis of regional divergence. In another article, he critiqued those who attribute Birmingham’s economic issues to the 1945 industry act, highlighting the importance of local factors in assessing industrial challenges. These topics form part of his ongoing exploration of regional economic performance.
