Surely it should not all be about growth but sustainability, every time one listens to an economist talking they mention growth, in my book there are two ways of achieving that, firstly by increasing individual productivity and secondly by flooding the market with cheap labour! The problem with the latter is that cheap labour brings with it all the associated problems so frequently hi lighted with the gig economy. Likewise unbridled growth brings additional problems of infrastructure and social care, We are also guilty of making credit too freely available giving people an opportunity to live well beyond their means. All of this is as a result of out of control growth which inevitably leads to a fall, The only difference between labour and Tories is the fact that if inpower the Labour Party would become the prime borrowers on our behalf which would have the same effect and lead to austerity yet again! So how about a law stating that all folks must live within their means? Those that do are currently threatened with being penalised to help those who cannot.
