    Agreed. Post war the policy has been to inflate debt away. However 70 years later the world is a very different place. Something Keynes probably didn't have in mind when he come up with concept.

    GDP is a misnomer too. If it merely reflects a higher level of activity through an increased money supply.

    My bet is on further QE. As nigh impossible to see who is going to fund the UK's deficit.

    We are probably at the mid point of the current debt supercycle.

    Worth remembering that the last similar event. Culminated in WW2. A sobering thought.


    maybe started drinking a little early today?
