Economic Reovery
It is worth having a look at the way things stand, as they do not look quite as hopeful as we might have expected, given the better than expected progress in the second half of 2009. Now we have the problems in the Eurozone, B.P and cuts, not just in the U.K but in several of our trading partners. This is offering a much gloomier picture with slow or nil recovery all across Europe. In the U.S there is growth but house prices are still falling and M3 is shrinking fast.
Some are now beginning to fear that the remedy of government spending to carry these economies forward to growth may not work, leaving huge debts and no realistic means of paying them. The economic stimulus theory attracts a good many economists and most politicians to the left of centre. The flaw may be that too much of the previous boom was on borrowed money and therefore false, with real economic activity several notches lower.
Moreover too many countries have been running and went into the crisis running, fiscal deficits on everyday spending. For these countries to borrow to keep the artificial economic activity alive means not only living above their income, but getting deeper and deeper into debt. The resultant cuts in expenditure enforced of necessity, together with increases in taxation necessary to eliminate the fiscal deficit and reduce overall debt to manageable levels produce a tightening in the economy causing either a double dip or very low growth. We are in that category. The idea that maintaining government expenditure will restore the economy to previous levels, works only if previous levels were earned, not borrowed.
The notion that a restoration in the levels of economic activity will pay for the borrowing needed to get there is valid only if in the good times the budget was in surplus. With us it was not. The new government therefore has a very tough task ahead. In other countries in Europe action is finally in hand to get real. It may or may not be too late. The markets are nervous.
The alternative, monetarist approach is at the onset of recession to let the weak businesses go under, cut expenditure to income and avoid fiscal stimulus by borrowing. Recovery comes from new start ups and stronger businesses expanding to fill the gaps left by the collapse of the weak. If stimulus is needed to boost the process, this should be done with quantitative easing creating new, not borrowed, money.
This idea was dismissed out of hand all across the West at the start of the crisis. It is beginning to look as if that may have been a mistake. Its sponsors argue that the economy emerges from recession re-vitalised and renewed, leaner and more efficient, with new blood and new ideas. Moreover there is a good deal less government debt, well below margins which saddle future generations.
Meanwhile the economies of the East not only have all the surpluses, reserves and cash, but they have all the growth too. Good news is that manufacturing is growing very fast in the U.K. This may be dented by the Euro problems as 50% of our output goes to Euroland, but the eastern economies are growing apace modernising their infrastructure and meeting rising consumer demand, which should present ample opportunities to make good the shortfall.
The coalition needs to free up business from daft regulations, organise business tax to encourage investment and get the banks to finance this economic lifeline rather than their own gambling.
Hi, Merely returned here to remind you regarding Mobile Monopoly. It is a great technique and WILL make you money, especially seeing as you own a web site.

This is a good subject to talk about. Sometimes I fav stuff like this on Redit. Although this time I’m not sure if this would be best for the users. I’ll look around and find another article that may work.
Interesting approach towards this. I’m curious to think what type of impact this would have globally? Sometimes people get a little upset with global expansion. I’ll check back to see what you have to say.
This makes me somewhat upset. I’m not pointing fingers at you though, I think it is everyone else out there that isn’t taking notice.
Good thorough ideas here.I’d like to recommend checking out things like sausages. What exactly are you looking for though?
Wow I’m frustrated. I’m not calling you out though, I think it is everyone else out there that isn’t taking notice.
Trusting to make the right decisions can be tough. It takes years to build confidence. Frankly it takes more than just happening to happen.

That’s a very good feedback. I’m curious to think what type of impact this would have globally? People obviously get frustrated when it begins to affect them locally. I’ll check back to see what you have to say.

Sometimes I question the internet and what is posted? Recently it seems to have become an epidemic, recently though it has turned around. What do you think?

Have you ever wondered who posts some of this stuff that you come across? Honestly the internet used to be like a different place, except that recently it seems to have become better. Do you agree?
This is tough. I’m not saying you are responsible, I think it is everyone else out there that isn’t taking notice.
This is a good subject to talk about. Usually when I find stuff like this I stumble it. This article probably won’t do well with that crowd. I’ll look around and find another article that may work.

You need to get upset! Get motivated and get pissed off. Generally this will allow you to take the inititive to make things happen.
Hello mate. I truly like the particular article as well as your website all in all! Your write-up is extremely plainly composed and very easily understandable. Your Blog design is great as well! Would be good to know where I can get that. If possible maintain up the good work. All of us need much more this sort of site owners like you online and much fewer spammers. Fantastic man!
Not too long ago, I did not give plenty of consideration to leaving responses on site page articles and have left feedback even much less. Reading through your pleasant posting, will assist me to do so sometimes.
Good thorough ideas here.I’d like to recommend checking out a lot around the idea of graphic bomb. What are your thoughts?
Very helpful information. I appreciate your effort, very informative and easy to understand.
I found your web page from bing and it is superb. Thankx for providing such an informative post!!!!
Not like the mainstream ideas, I have to disagree with you, as there are just so many other elements to consider. Nicely in case you are open for link exchange, perhaps we should be in contact with one another, in order that we will build a greater blog together. What do you think?
Very nice information.
I love your blog! did you create this yourself or did you outsource it? Im looking for a blog design thats similar so thats the only reason I’m asking. Either way keep up the nice work I was impressed with your content really..
I am afraid I am not up to creating my own website. It was outsourced through my Agent, Murray Harkin. Thanks for your support.
