Economic policies that work - for governments and families
Historian Paul Johnson writes in Forbes -
Expenditure must not exceed income if possible; debt should be acquired reluctantly and liquidated as soon as can be; and, above all, there should be a continual and indefatigable effort to save and to invest sensibly.The West became rich and powerful following these rules.
And a few others. Recently the British and American governments have done exactly the reverse. How will we pay back billions and trillions in debt?
