    Economic Cycles and Thinking Outside the Sovereign Debt Box.

    The global economy is reaching a nexus point as multiple cycles and challenges coincide – successful nations will recognise and exploit the new opportunities as they emerge.

    The UK finally admits it broke – how are we going to fix it?

    The UK is even more broke that we thought. Chancellor Rachel Reeves is determined to address the crisis.

Today will cost the UK future growth, loss of soft power and influence, and leave the nation further deflated, broken and ultimately divided. But political and economic incompetence leaves few alternatives.

    The UK Economy – Austerity or time for a Reset?

    The UK: Out the Unfunded Spending Fire and into the Austerity Frying Pan

    If you thought Unfunded Spending was a bad idea, don’t be fooled Austerity is going to be any more successful. It’s Anti-growth, regressive and will push the UK into deep recession, but about the only policy option left open to the discredited Tories.
