Anyone who has studied economics at any level will be expecting this to happen, How many years of Keynesian theory have we had now? Driving the economy and causing it to over heat and then at the end you get stagnation. I believe that Thatchers hero Friedman warned about this happening in the 80's.
There is one way to stop all of this happening however but I can't imagine any Government ever going for it because of the initial chaos it would cause.
Bring an end to trade, start with socialism and go to the next few steps, until there is no global trade any more, every one lives in a giant commune based upon peace and love, with every one offering their skills to the collective out of altruism as opposed to trade.
I believe the idea was put forward by prot, a mental patient in the novel K-Pax! Bound to work if you think about it
After all, what could go wrong?
