Dr Matthias Holweg explains why the UK government needs to stop its ambivalent attitude towards the declining UK car industry, which although still competitive, is very fragile. It needs to fight for it now if it wants to save it and retain a balanced economy.

We are, Steve believe, on the cusp of a radical transformation in the way services are delivered.
Shape of things to come
According to Michael Kitson, the recession will be deeply protracted and U-shaped, not W-shaped as some are forecasting, leaving permanent scars on the economy in the form of lost economic capacity. The financial sector will not fully recover to be as significant a share of the economy as it was pre-shock; the adverse effect on long-term investment will reduce productive capacity in the future and the country will not be allowed to draw in as much import as previously. The challenge, he explains
