Are we talking ourselves into a recession?

An expert panel debate the future of Britain's economy


‘UK Economy “worse than thought”’ announces one headline. ‘Britain on the brink of recession’ announces another. Barely a day passes without an economic prognosis more dire than the last. But are we in danger of talking ourselves into a recession?

While many economists and financial experts are indeed gloomy, offering pessimistic predictions and belt-tightening prescriptions, other commentators, awaiting some ‘fat cat’ blood letting, appear positively gleeful at the prospect of a recession. But is such a culture of doom and gloom, triumphalist or not, actually hastening what it claims to anticipate?
