The present debate is marred by the personification of treating countries as if they were individuals
We would be wise to heed the former prime minister’s warnings about the economy
Nobody knows if the euro will survive a debt default – but its supporters hardly want to find out
That which is unsustainable will not be sustained
Word is that the chancellor and his team are unhappy about criticism from the press
It is not so urgent to cut the deficit when recovery is far from assured
We will achieve little by exhorting surplus countries to consume more
The arguments used to justify cuts strike a chord with the public in a way that earlier Budgets never did
The evidence of resurgent mercantilism is all too abundant
