A very serious article.  Making the wrong move at the wrong time, just as many in this country want to do the same: Premature fiscal austerity.
British Fashion Victims - NYTimes.com: "What happens now? Maybe Britain will get lucky, and something will come along to rescue the economy. But the best guess is that Britain in 2011 will look like Britain in 1931, or the United States in 1937, or Japan in 1997. That is, premature fiscal austerity will lead to a renewed economic slump. As always, those who refuse to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it."
