So full of rubbish its hard to believe this was written by trained economist, formerly the chief economist of Shell. As we come into the general election of 2010 its frightening to think that this mean could up with significant influence on the shaping of British economic policy. Here's a quote taken from one of the last chapters: 'Instead of meddling, centralized intervention in every aspect of national life, the government has to focus on its core functions such as education and research.' I agree about the centralized meddling, but how does it follow that a core function of government should be to conduct education and research? Its bad enough government monopolizing education, but to monopolize research too would be a disaster. ( )
