Cartoon: QE2 – more funny money on the way

I am reading Citywire on the prospects for more Quantitative Easing in the UK. Bluntly, this means the invention of new paper money to try and help prop up the UK’s faltering economy. There’s some reaction reported by Reuters here.

Typically, creating money brings price inflation of consumables and the hoarding of assets and resources by those who can afford them – as this fine Canadian animated film explains.

The new Prime Minister David Cameron made his first speech to the Conservative Party conference this week. You can read it here. It exhorted folk to volunteer and contribute to ‘Big Society’  and these are laudable sentiments. The problem will however lie in the methods of compulsion which politics and economics will bring as we continue to bail out the debts of the banks.

Nick Booth is an educator and social organiser in Brirmingham and he’s recently reported on a fringe meeting at the conference about social capital, volunteering and the ‘Big Society’. I’d recommend you read it if you are interested in discovering what this stuff may mean on the ground.
