The worst thing for an economy is to have money not doing anything, sitting dormant.(, Thu 27 Jun 2013, 12:28, Reply)
Initially the thing to do is to use the fact that the government can borrow at a better rate than anyone else, and the fact that we have a soverign currency and therefore we can pretty much do whatever the fuck we like (in the short term at least) in terms of internal spending, to invest in capital projects now, not in five or ten years time, but now.
This puts money in peoples pockets which they then go out and spend, this in turn allows manufacturers to make money and pay taxes and after a while you get a self supporting economy and you can make cuts and raise taxes to pay off the debts you built up doing this.
