This week, we take a look at the reasons behind the limited use and limited nature of the tax powers that the Welsh Government has, why this affects delivery of policies supported by the electorate and what - if anything - can be done about it.
We are joined by representatives of two of Wales's leading think tanks to discuss:
Dr Victoria Winckler is Director of the Bevan Foundation: https://twitter.com/BevanFoundation
Harry Thompson is Economic Policy Lead at the Institute of Welsh Affairs: https://twitter.com/HMorganThompson
Harry's report 'Wales's Fiscal Firepower' can be found here: https://www.iwa.wales/our-work/work/fiscal-firepower/
