Economy on ‘E’: Still Coasting Somehow

The country is clinging to life by a single, frayed thread. During this time there will be a lot of speeches on TV and radio by ministers trying to assure people that though the tide is against the country they are busy rowing.

That could lead to dangerous situation and a reduction in population.
