Just to finish off on Treasurers, it would be wrong not to mention the role played by Gordon Brown, the man who broke Britain. His hubris was amazing.  Just before Britian’s real estate bubble burst, he claimed he’d killed off its boom-bust cycle as Treasurer.

Failed world Treasurers have been complicit in delivering average real weekly wages that are now less than they were in 1972 and in providing the 0.1% an enormous slice of the economic pie.

It’s time we lifted their game.
