A new lobby will rise to topple the home-owners
Article Abstract:
It is likely that house prices in the UK will be reasonably strong over the next few years, with the relative level of prices to earnings at 3-3.5 to 1. However, there will probably not be a real boom in house prices, as in a low inflation environment it is not logical financially to have a high proportion of wealth in housing. People will probably focus on building up their financial assets, and will be unwilling to purchase a house which is larger than they really need.

The market's not finished yet
Article Abstract:
There are signs of reactions against market capitalism, especially in China, Malaysia and East Asia. However, this does not mean that the advance of the market is coming to an end. Indeed, it is possible to argue that this advance is still in its very early stages. There will be conflict between the various different versions of market capitalism in the next generation, and there will a great deal of experimentation, accompanied inevitably by some reverses.
