Paul De Grauwe’s recent assertion in the Financial Times (Flexibility is out: now we see rigidity’s virtues, 23rd February), is deeply flawed in its argument that labour market rigidity is a virtue in the current downturn. Rigidity may indeed provide...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/miles_templeman/my_weblog/~4/vs8rrPgnvgg" height="1" width="1"/>

The Government’s proposals to help small firms cope with the credit tightening have been well publicised, and I welcome many of these, but I’m increasingly disturbed by the raft of new employment laws that Ministers are planning to introduce this...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/miles_templeman/my_weblog/~4/C9mgXduq2zA" height="1" width="1"/>

The debate about the length and depth of the recession is extremely complex and at this stage one cannot be too dogmatic about the outcome. 2 heavyweight boxers, ‘mild’ and ‘brutal’ are pummelling each other and either could yet win...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/miles_templeman/my_weblog/~4/8OKBhyy0k8A" height="1" width="1"/>
