		Short-term actions of an electorally desperate Prime Minister Monday, 19th January 2009 Letter to the Daily Telegraph Sir Roger Bootle argues that the recession "is thoroughly manmade. And what man has done he can undo." (There's no escaping Logic, 19 January 2009).  This is akin to arguing that a man with a sledgehammer can put back together the object he has just smashed to pieces. Austrian economics encourages the interplay of market forces on voluntary terms – not on terms set by the same misguided Government and central bank that set the incentive framework for the original credit binge.  Far better for long-term economic recovery to be led by the decisions of millions of consumers and suppliers  rather than the misguided short-term actions of an electorally desperate Chancellor and Prime Minister .
