Essay Instructions: Hallo,

I want to ask you if you can help me with my report. It is about Britain and its social and economic decline. I had to give a short talk about it already ? just an interim report. There I said:
--------------------------------
We all know that you can all lie with statistics; one statistic does not give the full picture. I have often heard that the UK economy is strong, healthy, the fourth largest in the world. But is this only on paper? If the paper value of many of my important assets grows by 10%-20% a year I can soon become much "richer" than my neighbours. But if my neighbours do not buy my goods or Services I must borrow to buy theirs. Is this Britain in 2004?

When I came here I noticed many things which suggested that the underlying economy was not at all so strong. So many imported goods - cars, white goods, sweets, yoghurts....and so few British ones in Europe. Why?

I therefore have not looked at economic models but at what I saw around me, read in the press, heard from natives and I supplemented this with the relevant most important statistics.


I looked at three main areas -
social
industrial/infrastructure
financial/economic

Social
?Massive problems of crime, drugs, violence etc.
?Poor general education Standards, poor apprenticeship System
?Many Professional middle-class people leaving the country
?Inflated house prices
?Poor social statistics a burden on the economy - teenage
pregnancies, binge drinking, increases in smoking, obesity,
VD, especially among the young

Industrial/infrastructure
?Manufacturing now only a small and decreasing part of GDP,
with productivity below that of France, Germany,
Scandinavia despite longer working hours in UK
?Lower Standards of worker protection and lower labour costs
in UK are NOT leading to lower prices for British goods
?Balance of payments - massive deficit and rising
?North Sea oil production peaking
?Poor infrastructure - railways, roads etc.
?Poor long-term Investment over many years

Financial/economic
?75% of credit card borrowing in Europe is in UK - average
personal debt level highest in Europe
?Inflated house prices feeding living on credit
?Balance of trade - see above
?Uncertainty about the ? has negative effect on Investments
and longer-term planning

All in all, Britain seems to be living way beyond its resources, a recipe for disaster in the long run if attitudes do not change. And these are interdependent on changes in the economy.

Is Britain like the frog which does not realise (or does not want to realise) that it is being slowly boiled to death until it is too late?
-------------------------------------------------------------

Can you please focus on these three chapters/areas? You do not need to write about every bulletin point in the chapters, just pick some. Other ideas are welcome, too.

Do not use economic models.

Please use more (up-to-date) Journals and newspapers articles than critical books.

Thanks for your help.
