Cut to spend. Or Sir Sorrell’s law
Sir Martin Sorrell, chief of advertising and PR group WPP, has been on the airwaves seemingly talking up his own brand of economic theory: Cut to spend. On the BBC earlier he appeared to urge governments around the world to start spending (including France) – an odd suggestion given current financial turmoil and current IMF […]
National Minimum Comms
November 10, 2010
