Gordon Brown And His Rich Friends

I received the following email message from Frank Roseman, the English Democrats prospective parliamentary candidate for the Cities of London and Westminster (http://www.voteenglish.org/london-candidates/). Interestingly it looks as though Gordon is a snob, always toadying up to the wealthy.

I initially planned to post this in November. However the economic outlook was confused at the time, typical of a turn in the economy, and since I wanted to encourage readers to make their own decision I decided to wait a couple of months.

Quantitative Easing (QE). Now there’s a phrase to ruminate about. It was created by Dr Richard Werner, Professor of International Banking at the School of Management, University of Southampton. He used this phrase in order to propose a new form of monetary stimulation policy by the central bank that did not rely rely on traditional methods of stimulating the economy which appeared to have failed in Japan.
