How can I get one?
The path of UK total debt has been something that has concerned me while reviewing the UK political parties’ manifestos and there are some issues I am unclear about:
1) Is a fiscal stimulus effective if it causes inflation and the central bank raises rates to counteract the inflation?
2) How important is the choice of investment for the effectiveness of a fiscal stimulus?
3) At what ratio of debt to GDP do we risk bond yields rising due to either perceived default risk, running out of buyers for gilts, inflation/currency risks if our international creditors perceive that debt monetisation is required to deal with the burden?
4) The UK economy has not been in recession since Q2 2009 so we are probably due another recession. Isn’t it a risk to increase borrowing now when a recession could come at any time and force us to borrow more?
Hello,
I have to plot the trend of the inflation rate of one country against that of 4 other countries, from the years 2000-2016.
When plotting these trends, do I plot the inflation rate for each month of each year? Or, the annual inflation rate for each year?

I am doing a resit for my EAP essay and would like to know if this is more of a blog or an essay so I should not use it. got the below from economics. I am supposed to write arguments for and against NHS charging treatment:
Should the NHS be free or should we pay to visit the doctor? An emotional issue, but what are the economic arguments?
Benefits of Charging for the NHS
If it is free there may be overconsumption.
It will reduce time wasters
It will raise revenue for the government which can be spent on the NHS
Disadvantages of Charging for the NHS
Health is a merit good, people underestimate the benefits of going to the doctor for screening; charging would put some people off.
Health has positive externalities therefore will be underprovided in a free market.
Demand for health care is inelastic, therefore charging may not reduce waiting lists
Administration costs of collecting money
Would lead to inequality
