I was watching a programe last night on 1970′s Britain and that was equally grim compared to communist Russia. The realities today are of vastly improved living standards everywhere with much more ideas and new technology.
The debt issue is the issue – not a demise back to the stone age.

Hi David,

I find del.icio.us useful, it’s a social booking marking site. You find content using tags.

Folks, though this blogpost is from 18th January, I post it moreso for the comments from myriad Academic and other economists (David was asking for such links, anyway), all of which are worth reading, I believe:

Continuing G’s Monthy Python theme (as we’re at the end of this article’s shelf life), Dan’s about as ashen-faced a subject as Bigus Dickus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPGb4STRfKw

Very good G.

If our government is walking the talk a’tall a’tall, then perhaps that’s because we have a Ministry for silly walks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spv1a5NMyvw
Come to think of it, there’s a resemblance to our MInister for Snow there. And the grants are jus as practical as a lot of the Green grants so far. All edge of the mindmap stuff / tinker at the edges with your colouredy pens. No sense in radical overhauls eh?

I find this article heard to correlate with some of David’s recent publications. On the one hand he admits that the ECB is pumping all the liquidity into the market, but he argues constantly that we should leave the Euro. It could be argued that by joining the Euro and thus adopting the low interest environment our problems began. Surley though we could not rely on our central bank to do any batter! – with their record. Admittedly though the credit crunch/liquidity crisis is not over yet.

Is anyone able to keep a straight face when reading Dan’s latest economic outlook?
