The CPS was created in 1974 in response to an economic crisis, in order to promote free trade and free enterprise.
Today, championing the importance of the market is as important as ever as Britain endures another recession, with rising unemployment and falling output.
The CPS believes in regulation that does not inhibit the growth of business, taxes that do not act as a disincentive to work or to investment in the UK, and a leaner more effective state that avoids unnecessary intervention in the economy.
Our recent work on the economy has focussed on the financial crisis and 'too big to fail', the true scale of public debt, quantitative easing, taxation and returning the country to growth.
Our focus going forward is on developing policy that can help to create the conditions necessary for sustained economic growth.
