Gloomsters killing world economy
In: Uncategorized
28 Nov 2014The biggest challenge facing the world economy is not the difficult economic conditions but what could be called gloomsters. These are the fatalists who think nothing much can be done about economic problems besides tinkering with monetary policy or public spending.

Spiked austerity article
13 Nov 2014There follows the text of my recent spiked article on austerity.

In: Uncategorized
3 Nov 2014The extent to which inequality has come to be blamed for most of the world’s economic problems is astounding. Will Hutton, principal of Hertford College, Oxford, summed up the charges in an Observer article earlier this year: “It’s inequality that is behind poverty, ill health and the growth of the welfare bill.
