Festival Of Economics: What Next For Britain's Economy?

There is a fierce debate between advocates of a government stimulus for the economy and those who say the longer-term cost of more stimulus is too high, and this economic debate maps onto party politics too. And what about the underlying strength or weakness of the UK economy? Is British industry ready to take advantage of a return to growth? Is there any prospect of this while the Euro crisis continues?
