Washington DC economy about three times stronger than similar UK cities, Tom Forth notes
Washington DC economy far outpaces UK cities

Tom Forth highlights the significant economic strength of Washington DC, observing that its economy is about three times as strong as cities of similar size in the UK.

He notes this advantage exists despite public spending on a metro system, and the fact that Washington DC has not privatized its airport or public transport.

Forth has previously argued that economic challenges should be addressed before attempting education reform, referencing this priority in analysis of education policy. He has also noted Scotland’s stronger economic performance relative to non-devolved Britain since devolution in a review of regional growth. These observations form part of Forth’s ongoing focus on comparative economic strength.
