Austerity and the Mistaken Lessons of History : a UK Misfortune – John Cassidy – The New Yorker

This is an excellent and MUST READ article from John Cassidy, published in the NYT.

via Austerity and the Mistaken Lessons of History : The New Yorker.

Personally, I think that John Cassidy argues the case against UK economic policy brilliantly. It seems that much of the UK political classes and the UK media is currently being brain-washed.

Any thoughts on why and what to do about it?
