Maverick is Golden Guru
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE maverick monetarist Professor Patrick Minford and his team at Liverpool University have won the Independent on Sunday's Golden Guru award for the best economic forecast of 1992.
Prof Minford (above), a member of the Chancellor's panel of economic forecasters known as the 'seven wise men', was one of only two forecasters to predict that national output would continue falling last year.
Prof Minford pays particular attention to movements in the M0 measure of the money supply - notes, coin and bankers' cash at the Bank of England - when forecasting inflation and growth.
The latest Liverpool forecast predicts that growth will be just 0.3 per cent this year.
