Although the Labour party is denying that its fiscal management amounts to austerity, many of us detect the same logic that drove much of the previous Tory govt's fiscal actions;

the problem is that austerity is a false economy, often failing to bring even the benefits it claims & making public services worse for everyone.

It may not be news but we *do* need to remind ourselves regularly that austerity is a key cause of the UK's current problems

Aveva soltanto 19 anni Percy Bysshe Shelley quando scrisse La necessità dell'ateismo: per questa "colpa" il futuro poeta romantico fu cacciato dall'università di Oxford nel 1811.

Ein brauner Hund liegt entspannt auf einem hellblauen, weichen Bettlaken. Der Hund hat seine Vorderpfoten über sein Gesicht gelegt, wobei seine Augen teilweise von seinen Pfoten verdeckt werden. Seine Pfoten sind groß und muskulös, mit sichtbaren Krallen. Der Hund blickt direkt in die Kamera, mit einem leicht amüsierten Ausdruck. Der Hintergrund ist dunkel, was den Fokus auf den Hund lenkt.

France’s Government Promises More Work, Fewer Holidays byteseu.com/1213327/ #France


Martin Wolf (FT) makes argues while Rachel Reeves is right to be seeking ways to promote institutions that lie behind enhanced economic growth, she is focussing on the wrong ones when she seeks to ease regulatory constraints on banks;

rather she she should be looking at enhancing & expanding the UK's Venture Capital sector which is relative lowly capitalised.

Might this be the 'silver bullet' she seeks?

Certainly, there is an argument this would be a better strategy!

@KimSJ

Yes, its an interesting dilemma; the business model does usually have (as you say) a three/five year exit strategy at its centre, but equally they are also (because of their risk appetite) often able to take much longer shots than other forms of support for innovative businesses.

My feeling is reforming the VC sector (with the help of some 'enlightened' VCs) might make sense.... or at least more sense than kowtowing to financial services

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May

I’m not sure how to do it, but I would rather see more encouragement for soft start (i.e. self-funded) businesses. Unfortunately, that would be a slow-burn strategy, offering long-term benefits, not the dramatic ‘fixes’ so beloved of politicians.

Hoopgevend verhaal van Frans Leijnse. Hij voorziet problemen voor Wilders om asiel tot aan verkiezingen op de agenda te houden, en mogelijkheden voor CDA, D66 en GL-PvdA om plannen te maken voor echte oplossingen van echte problemen en samen nieuwe coalitie te vormen. decorrespondent.nl/16231/door-…
