The world’s two biggest economies have begun negotiating a deal to create a £3.3 trillion free-trade zone – and yet my pulse isn’t racing at the prospect of the biggest trade deal in history. (Three trillion is three followed by 12 zeros, although you probably knew that already.)
It’s not that I’m indifferent to a deal that is expected to open up new opportunities for British lawyers, create jobs across two continents and boost the growth of gross domestic product (GDP) by 0.5% annually. And also help both economies combat the rampant market tiger that is China.
