Of-course I know how the economy works and doesn't work, Barry.
The process of redefining economy to what it is supposed to be is on-going.
In the past, all these paper investment schemes that banks run nowadays, did not exist. People worked, produce was distributed. People obtained products according to their financial means and according to their necessities.
The more equally wealth was distributed, the better people lived. And the more money was spent on private luxuries by the rich, or on wars, the worse off were the people.
Money should be considered part of the economy, so the more of it ends up in private pockets, the less there is for the rest of the economy.
The present banking system is based on speculation. Speculation is powered by greed, and inevitably brings a functional economy to an end.
Your problem, Barry, is that the £900 billion+ sovereign debt that we have, and the trillions of pounds of private debt in our Country, is all put down to Gordon Brown.
It's your magical want to explain every negative aspect of our indebted situation. The fact that other countries have equal or worse debts, where Gordon Brown has nothing to do with it, doesn't seem to ring a bell that G. Brown cannot be the root cause of the problem.
The cause is the banking system itself as we now know it, and speculation in general, including in the housing market, in the share markets and on the employment market.
Saying "you don't understand anything about economy" is the same as saying "Gordon Brown caused all the banks' problems".
