I don't know whether I would go as far back as 100 years , but it certainly applies to the modern economy . With globalisation , and the way our economic system is so bound up with those of countries worldwide , the government is limited in what it can do sort out our economic problems .
The government has said that it will bring the deficit down to zero in the lifetime of this parliament . I think that's a rash promise considering what's going on all over the place .
