Wow, what an optimistic view of things. From my view, the UK is about to take a 50% drop in their standard of living, if they manage things well, they might recover it all within a decade. This is if they make a trade deal with the US.

If they fail this, and are left in the breeze, they'll eventually have to beg for a seat at the French lead EU (if the EU survives), and things won't be as nice.

The world is deglobalizing, because the US won the cold war, and it's no longer in our interest to keep subsidizing the rest of the world's free trade. If you're not in our trade group, things are going to be about as rough as they were for your nation prior to WWII.
