Any suggestions for ending the downturn?
My own gut level feeling is that it has to run its course before it will end. All attempts to prevent it from running its course will only stall the recovery.
Having said that the only practical and positive point is the somewhat battered but still surviving entrepreneurial spirit. Despite it all there is always someone that feels they can build a better mousetrap.
When that entrepreneurial age begins, productivity and innovation will flourish as perhaps never seen before.
These are the best of times, these are the worst of times...
