One of the many things I meant to do this summer was to write a review of this pamphlet.  It is a highly readable account of the financial mess we are in and challenges a lot of assumptions – in particular George Osborne’s apocalyptic insistance that cutting public borrowing is the main priority and that the situation is analogous to where the UK was at in the late-70s/early-80s.  It also proposes the introduction of a property tax – albeit at a higher rate than the one Vince Cable is now proposing.

It is a well deserved award and congratulations to all concerned.
