...is an 'agression', u could say the modern equivalent of the stone age man hunting wildlife...and this agression to win at the money game is an energy that can take one over. I know this even as someone who as you can probably tell has also had some radically different life expereinces - its dangerous! If you give this agression free reign, then you get things like credit crunches happening...and it doesn't in reality 'all work out in the end' (purity of the market thesis), what happens in the end is you get starving kids in expolited and trashed Africa and an oil slick for a planet, i.e. in other words Redwood and his ilk are insane scum that need containing/treatment. So from this context (planetary health), an end to economic growth booms is a good thing! Basically we need to enter a reality/design system of living that are based on Mother Earth love instead of rape, exploit and money. (see permacultural link). Yes I know the Redwoods will protest and distrupt, which is why they will need to be ring fenced in some way.
Its quite possible now for a multiple banking failure to occur, the situation really is unpresidented, and for a 1930's or worse recession to happen. Looking at house prices in North West Wales where I am now, they could easily drop 30-50%, tha will cause VERY serious problems for the economy. The fact is that this is a easy credit/low interest rates etc funded boom, prices do need to drop back hugely, but of course this will cause mega problems, and so the government is in panic trying to stop this from happening..but it needs to happen! - so they are in a trap (and so are we.) - the cause very much being unregulated free market capitalism in a banking context. Thus so much for Dr Camerons solutions.
Agricultural/woodland/smallholding/farms land prices are still strong, but if the credit squeeze carries on, then this market inevitable will collapse also and you'll be able to pick up areas of land for next to nothing. All this was really very predictable - but people don't want to belive that booms will end, speculative bubbles or otherwise...especially egoising fascsit idiots in government.
Time to stop spending and start growing your own food and sharing. Here's a genuine solution:

I emphasise - the situation is unprecidentedly serious. Poor Mr Brown, his absolute worst nightmare! The man that ushered in the UKs most serious banking crisis and possible worst ever recession. Better put him on suicide watch. He'll never cope - a broken, Faustian character.
I do have a degree in economics by the way, not that that nessessarily means anything of course, but it does mean that I have some background. I would say that this building society is more or less 100% safe by the way:

...doubly safe because the money is being invested in 'sound' projects and not little boxes made of ticky tacky.
