Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Serenti. On today's episode, Jeremy Hunt shares his vision of how we can achieve economic renewal in Britain. Hunt joined us live on stage in October for the final installment of this year's Intelligence Squared Economic Outlook series. The former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Foreign Secretary and Health Secretary reflected on his political tenure and drew on the themes of his new book, Can We Be Great Again?
to share his vision of how we can achieve economic renewal in Britain. While candid about Britain's weaknesses, he argued that on issues ranging from European security to global trade and climate, migration and the future of democracy, the UK still has the potential to lead if it chooses to act like a country that matters. The Intelligence Squared Economic Outlook series is made in partnership with Guinness Global Investors. For those who don't know, Guinness Global Investors is an independent British fund manager that helps both individuals and institutions harness the drivers of future growth to achieve their investment goals. Now let's join our host, BBC News presenter Johnny Diamond, with more.
Thank you, thank you very much, Hannah. I'll very briefly introduce a man that you've come through the rain to see, so you probably know exactly who he is anyway. So Jeremy Hunt, obviously, was Chancellor of the Exchequer between 2022 and 2024, and before that gained an unrivalled view of government as Foreign Secretary. Health secretary, was it six years as health secretary? I'm sure you have the scars on your back and culture secretary during the London Olympics.
