The negative impact of masks has been very underreported. It may be useful to consider a situation that arose in England a few years ago in relation to vulnerable children in care, which could be seen as a microcosm of the current lockdown situation. A combination of vested interests, politicised academics and ill-defined harms led to kind of mini-totalitarian state. The most effective way to resolve the issue seemed to be through empowering those directly affected, building effective alliances, not getting drawn into blind alleys and, above all, creating the most elegant, straightforward and profound narrative. This case study can be seen at the Invisibleengland2 blog.

How disappointing that this article ignores the main and most fundamental driver:
That the entire economy is massively overdependent on debt to drive not even just growth, but for its actual money supply. Money being issued into the economy via the issuing of credit from private banks, and that gravitating overwhelmingly towards property inflation and debts require assets to loan against.
This is an economic model, the heart of neo-liberal capitalism, that reached its end with the credit crunch and yet is still being squeezed for every penny as it fails.
For the economy to progress and sanity in the housing market and so much else, this needs to be adressed. QE could be considered a part of that, forced onto us by the credit crunch it accepted that govts could use fiscal leverage to effect the economy, but it was a halfway house, only approved becuase it still channeled the created money via the bond market and it was the private finace industry who still had their hands on the taps.
Money creation should be monetary policy that facilitates a free market, not a part of the market itself, for profit from a select few who get to rent for a profit the economy its money. This is the fundamental flaw in our mixed economies, that has never been addressed leaving atempts to balance the mix on a faulty fulcrum.
