Dear Mr Buiter,

I was very interested to read your comment about the UK suffering from a new form of "Dutch Disease" as this is a theory I have been working for the past year and a hlaf, and which I have dubbed "Anglo Disease"

You can read the whole genesis of the projet at this link (http://www.eurotrib.com/story/2008/10/17/62354/121) and an attempt at a summary, in Op-Ed form, at this link (http://www.eurotrib.com/story/2008/2/3/10253/66655) - this was written last February. I have already sent that text to your colleague Martin Wolf; he finds it too ideological - disagreeing that there was an intent behind the policies that brought this situation.

Kind Regards,

JG
