It seems that as long as politicians play slavish regard to the utterance's of economists, and as long as economists think that their "dismal science" somehow is outside of and can disregard physical reality, then it will be business as usual, what can be done if they ever wake up to the fact that you really can't get a quart out of a pint pot, is as far as I can see the major issue.
