The Womens' Budget Group point out the UK's current Fiscal Rules don't count investment in social infrastructure *as* investment for the future.... so they suggest four changes to the Fiscal Rules [typo in WBG's post]:
1. Recognise social infrastructure as investment;
2. update the debt rule to reflect investment cycles;
3. move to a fairer & progressiste tax system;
4. Base macroeconomic policy on national needs, not narrow accounting definitions
