    This can only be a good thing. For once, I'll keep the cynical comments on ice and just hope that the recovery sticks (even if this is just welcome economic blip).

    The recovery is here. Time to raise interest rates then to stop inflation running away further above target and actually hitting everyones disposable income, which doesn't help the actual situation.

  • As some would agree that this is just a welcoming economic blip which at least give people some hope and positive news.Economy is very easy to be stable and on rise provided that money which goes for taxes is used visely and not in a destructive manner,as for destroying of enviroment with all kinds of poisons thus affecting health and well being of humans and overcrowded health institutes.
    If everyone would support organic plant based diet,support vegan diet and plant based organic farming and leave behind use of all harmful substances,use green techology inventions economy would be very stable and on growth.For your reference,please read book written by esteemed public figure Lord Nicholas Stern:The Economics of Climate Change:"The Stern Rewiev" and among others site of World Preservation Foundation.Very educational is alos an interwiev with president of IPCC Dr.Rajendra Pachauri,where simple yet fastest and the most effective lomg term solutions are scientificaly disscused and given out to public in order to implement them in their daily lives for the benefit of all.Humans,animals and finally or first of all home which we name it Earth.Place of our residentship which we cannot afford to destroy it since we are going to destroy ourselves!
