Abstract

The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, it argues that it is doubtful that the currently announced policies will achieve their targets while they create substantial obstacles to the recovery of the post-crisis economy. Secondly, it proposes an alternative plan that its aim is (a) to ensure that everyone in the UK has the means to survive the crisis and, (b) to facilitate economic recovery by preserving the productive capacity of the economy and, hence, its ability to sustain a high employment rate.
