Monthly money update

In this video, Professor Tim Congdon expresses concern about the excessive borrowing by UK governments since the Great Financial Crisis of 2007-2009, which contrasts sharply with the last 1990s and early 2000s when public debt was a much lower percentage of GDP. He places the blame fairly and squarely on neo-Keynesianism and its belief that the best way to deal with an econoic downturn is for governments to borrow more and spend more. A well-managed monetary policy, rather than fiscal largesse, is the key to stable and sustaned economic growth.
