Roger Bootle and Capital Economics win Wolfson Economics Prize 2012

We can anounce that Roger Bootle, has won the 2012 Wolfson Economics Prize, the second biggest prize in economics after the Nobel Prize.
The £250,000 prize has been awarded for the best answer to the question “If member states leave the Economic and Monetary Union, what is the best way for the economic process to be managed to provide the soundest foundation for the future growth and prosperity of the current membership?” The submission was one of over 400 entries and beat off competition from other major economic research companies, the research teams of banks and other financial institutions, and leading academic economists. The judges unanimously viewed it as the “most credible solution” to the question of how an orderly exit from the euro-zone could be managed.
