The economic recovery is tied to the hopes of a better future

Let's get into the shoes of any average European citizen. What a dilemma comes from reading the newspaper or from the statements of politicians and analysts of all kinds! We need to spend and consume to boost the economy (as in the best American tradition) or save waiting for better times (who knows when) as do the Germans, who abhor the use of the credit card on the assumption that "we must spend only the money we have in the wallet "?

Good question. The economy to run  must move the money:  if I use and spend on goods and services because I have disposable income ( because I  saved, or I borrowed by the banks, or I have had the salary increased in terms real), I allow companies to sell their products and to make profits, invest (they also helped by the banking system) and increase the incomes of their employees. We must add all the system induced that revolves around the economic system (professionals, and others). The circle has closed.

I realize the extreme simplicity of the scheme, but the complex economic theories (perhaps not empirical) are not for crisis situations.

Since there is no denying that there is money in circulation (it was certainly not burned), it is necessary that consumers overcome the fear of the future and begin to believe that they are the main protagonists of their recovery (they are buying).

Certainly the actors of this economic and financial stage do not favor such perspective. The headlines and statements slamming the front page to emphasize the tragedy of the moment certainly make the austerity measures more digestible but are not conducive to economic growth, which is the ultimate purpose of everything they are doing.

Therefore I was pleased  when I read a news on the British newspaper "The Independent": 

"Businesses in the City of London have created 16% fewer jobs in November compared to the previous month."

I emphasized the word "created" not only because I like more than "lost", but also because the article talks about 2670 jobs created in the financial services sector in November compared to 3160 inOctober, assuming that the last two months of the year are traditionally quieter for investment banks because many departments have yet to close the recruiting budgets for the next year. However, in partial satisfaction, there was an increase in demand for banking figures in the London markets in Asia, particularly Hong Kong.

It seems to me a good news and however gives more incentive than the articles evoking the "Great Depression" or speaking about  "the most serious crisis since the Second World War" ; certainly they doesn't help the economic growth  and the prospect that things will definitely return, in the shortest possible time, in the right direction.
