Which brings me to the vital part of the economy I mentioned before. It is the economic engine room of any economy that these stimulus measures are harming. Namely enterprising small businesses.
When government says it is stepping in to save the economy, what they really mean is they are stepping in to prop up big businesses. Because it is those companies that will make it to the TV news and the newspapers if/when people start losing their jobs.
The economy needs to contract. In this way, the small and nimble enterprises that survive can take advantage of a depressed economy. Companies that are young or don’t even exist yet can pick up the pieces and bring innovation and real growth to the economy.
