Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
IT SEEMS the 'world recession' was caused by governments following the simplistic monetarist policies of Nobel Prize-winning Professor Milton Friedman.
With President-elect Bill Clinton supporting Keynsian-inspired policies instead, and (more appositely) our own tortoise-quick Government stepping back in a Keynesian direction, would it not be possible to have the irritating professor's Nobel Prize annulled?
This would serve as a symbolic scalp for the millions of victims of the recession and the award could be directly, if posthumously, transferred to the more trustworthy (albeit late) J M Keynes.
