Larry Elliott, the Guardian economics editor, reports from the IMF in Washington

We can expect the Guardian to be all over this, can't we? Outraged squeals from Larry Elliott, Will Hutton and yes, our own beloved Polly? No? Look what's happening! A charity sells out of a productive UK business and then parks the money. No, they don't invest again in UK jobs, they're not supporting our economy,

“Britain’s broken economy – and how to fix it”, an ebook, is published today by Soundings. With a foreword from the Guardian’s Larry Elliot and an afterword from Jon Cruddas MP, this ebook aims to set out an alternative political economy for the British centre left.
