'Leaders' (e.g. within Government) are trying desperately hard to build up confidence in the economy again by people 'talking things up' ... rather than 'dealing to reality' ...
There has been talk about the 'green shoots' of recovery, particularly in relation to property prices ... but as highlighted previously, this is still focusing on the wrong things ...
Until 'leaders' start to 'lead', stop applying Poweromics & Ignoromics, and take responsibility for adding value & changing things for the better, the real problems will continue to get worse, not better ... and this will predictably lead to a mixture of unrest, war and death - the 'systems' diagrams showing this are already contained in my book (chapter 8, P215 - 227) ... as well as key intervention strategies for avoiding it ...

A key point that will not go away (for generations) ....
"With household debt, corporate debt and public-sector debt at record levels in the UK (equivalent in aggregate to 400% or so of GDP)" ....
.... yet people were taken in by the concept of "Prudence" ... the most successful example of 'spin' and the biggest con in history ... and here's another one ...
"But there's a proud history, lots of backbone and a talented squad" ... and "the lesson has been learned (presumably)" ....
... talented squad? learning from mistakes? ... 'presumably' is the key word here as I've not seen them ... people just try and get better at "spin" (eg Mandy) and at "deflecting blame" (eg. it's due to a world crisis, and nothing to do with us!) ... rather than taking responsibility, admitting/recognising mistakes and changing things for the better ... and how many of the 'leaders' still in power failed to spot the crisis (and in fact tried hard to 'spin' the opposite) ... and yet now want us to believe their predictions for the future (e.g. Government, Politicians, CBI, Economists ...)
I'm afraid innovation, jobs and exports are the things we need to look at, not house prices or football, and many more enterprises, and nations, will go 'bust' due to a lethal combination of Poweromics* & Ignoromics** ... and more unrest, conflicts and deaths*** will inevitably occur unless things change radically and quickly ... which they currently are not ... now history does tell us this ... and the plan is ...?
... to adopt more 'spin' and 'celebrity', talk up the green shoots of recovery, deflect people's attention away from the problems and hope that their memories are short ... the problem is that these 'real problems' are not going away ... they are just getting worse ...

* Poweromics = People using position and power for their own personal gain, based on poor moral values, self interest and greed.
** Ignoromics = People are either effectively ignorant of the situation (e.g. the overall environment) or not prepared to take responsibility to make sure it changes for the better.
