Episode description

This week, we take a look at the reasons behind the limited use and limited nature of the tax powers that the Welsh Government has, why this affects delivery of policies supported by the electorate and what - if anything - can be done about it. We are joined by representatives of two of Wales's leading think tanks to discuss: Dr Victoria Winckler is Director of the Bevan Foundation: https://twitter.com/BevanFoundation Harry Thompson is Economic Policy Lead at the Institute of Welsh Affairs: https://twitter.com/HMorganThompson Harry's report 'Wales's Fiscal Firepower' can be found here: https://www.iwa.wales/our-work/work/fiscal-firepower/ For all the latest from Hiraeth, follow us here: https://twitter.com/HiraethPod And if you're able to do so, please consider supporting our Patreon here: http://www.patreon.com/hiraethpod If you are enjoying the pod, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast app of choice.
