I agree that we must end up with the question of what to do to actually resolve the real problems that our economy faces.

On this site, we discuss a lot about long term sustainability, the ability to withstand the coming climate change and energy shocks and to focus less on growth and more on actual quality of living for most people, but this is hard to do in the current political environment.

In the medium term, a focus on small entreprises is certainly a good thing, and there is indeed a lot that could be done in thatdirection. In the short term, dealing with the fallout of the financial crisis is goign to be the big priority - and it has links to my article, as the financial crisis is the bursting of an asset bubble that was highly profitable to the very rich minority which has perverted our economic discourse.

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
