Surviving the Debt Storm is a searing indictment of the agenda now adopted by governments and central banks, which is likely to result in yet more bank failures, dysfunctional capital markets, higher taxes, and reduced government services and benefits. But it's not too late to choose a different path that will help put capitalism back on track. Leigh Skene and Melissa Kidd outline what that path should be to ensure a prosperous rather than an austere future. Leigh Skene an associate of Lombard Street Research.
