Today's news that the economy contracted by 0.6% in the last quarter of 2010 is depressing news for all of us. With unemployment rising and inflation much higher than is ideal - not to mention the full impact of government spending cuts still to come - the prospect of a new recession cannot be ruled out. It all seems a far cry from the low unemployment, low inflation, high growth years of the 2000s.
