Comment on Debt Threat Unimportant by Herman

How can debt load be unimportant? I phrase this as a question? Doesn’t high government debt loads reduce available capital for the private sector and subsequently leads to higher tax loads which further drain excess capital for private sector investment?

We all suffer from a need for achievement to some extent. I guess you’d prefer they go on the dole rather than stay in work where they do more harm.

Is there such a thing as progressive taxation and social security? I would use the word regressive.

Dear Roger,

Would you be so kind as to share a little bit more of your views on the dramatic developments in the Arab world and its potential impact on the global economy? What would happen if the public uprise would spread to Iran (likely) and Saudi Arabia (quite possible)? It seems to me that this really has the potential to become the most important development not just politically but also economically for this year and beyond…

Cheers,

One devastating fact has emerged from this debacle – GDP is a useless and utterly misleading measure of a nation’s economic health. The current tables of national GDP per head at PPP published by the IMF and the World Bank put three relevant countries as follows:

IMF : World Bank

Ireland 9 6
UK 13 14
Germany 20 15

Faced with this where would a wise investor from Mars put his Martian wealth?

Sir, Are you thinking of Angela Knight and her “work” at The BBA?
The phrase ” regulatory capture” seems an undestatment in her context .
