Abstract

These reflections on the British coalition government's policies, presented as only a response to the economic situation and in particular the rise in the national debt, also appear on the website of Britain's New Statesman and on the American website CounterPunch. At the end of the New Statesman version, there are 90 or so comments on it. Some, those at the top of the list, may be a revelation to you if you have not kept up with the phenomenon of blogging. They illustrate the fact that the web is not only the greatest encyclopedia in history
