Problem
It is often said comically that if you put 5 economic experts in a space, you will get 6 ideas. Reasonably, post-pandemic, rather than a booming economy, we are faced with inflation, supply shortages, and signs of a global economic downturn. New phrases such as 'growth recession' and 'negative growth' are being spelt in media.
