I am puzzled. We are said to be on the verge of a double dip recession. Yesterday, global stock markets plunged. But did they do so because we are on the brink of a double dip recession, or because the media reported that we are on the brink of a double dip recession? What’s happening? Has the global equities market simply grown too big for the ‘action’ that our politicians vacuously promise. I heard a soundbite from Dave’s speech in Canada this morning. Now I’m looking for the substance bite. Can’t find it.
