Does this nugget from PM Gordon Brown make you want to invest in stocks for the next decade or two? As he put it in his New Year's message:
When the history books come to be written, 2008 will largely be remembered for the scale of the great economic and financial crisis. A year in which an old era of unbridled free market dogma was finally ushered out. ... And I want 2009 to be the year when the dawn of a new progressive era breaks across the world: purposeful and energetic governments giving real help to families and businesses when they need it the most; and through expanding the downturn vital investments in our future - real hope for that future too.
