* to the extent that, as happened in 2008-2011 and is still active policy, the government will subsidise firms to keep on temporily redundant workers if it judges that demand is only temporarily low.
I'm inclined to think that (re)industrialisation can only happen with active government intervention, as happens and happened in China, Germany, France, Japan and South Korea. Private enterprise on its own as structured in the Anglo-Saxon countries cannot and will not work to rebalance the economy.Hard Brexit now!
