They either cause the problems and/or implement the wrong solutions to solve them. Left alone free markets capitalism would not have allowed the steel industry to get into the state it is in in the first place or if it had would be able to find the way to fix it.<br /><br />Those interferers I named above caused the steel industry to become uncompetitive with their policies that have driven up costs beyond that of our steel industry's competitor. So now even though they caused the damage they do nothing to undo that damage by changing their policies.Antistheneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120647617145756102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495971764170848323.post-30633417350812172672016-03-31T05:39:43.533+01:002016-03-31T05:39:43.533+01:00Oh - and scrapping the National Minimum Wage and a...Oh - and scrapping the National Minimum Wage and anything and everything to do with 'Greenery', such as the insane CCA and all 'carbon emission targets'.<br /><br />There's only ONE requirement on any and every home, business and industry: to produce the highest quality product at the lowest possible price - and so sell more of their output product, both at home and abroad.<br /><br />the more HMG/EU interferes in any market, the less free it becomes and the more sclerotic development & innovation becomes and the more screwed the customer is.<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121879660534791914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495971764170848323.post-50778507196165309342016-03-31T05:36:31.530+01:002016-03-31T05:36:31.530+01:00Anyone suggesting either:

And exports therefore rise?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121879660534791914noreply@blogger.com
