Michael Taft: Writing in today's Observer, Will Hutton describes the prescriptions of Richard Koo, chief economist of Japan's Nomura Research Institute, to address the global economic and financial crisis.

While, obviously, this super-Keynesian model has its limitations in a small, open economy, it nonetheless provides an alternative perspective on the Government’s current deflationary policies.
