This is a fairly recent article that talks about supply side policies implemented by the new head of the "Bank of England", Mark Carney. The article mainly discusses their new strides to reach unemployment rates, which heavily involves controlling inflation and interest rates. It is interesting how it talks about how Keynesian supply side policies were not effective post war era because they let inflation spiral out of control. The author believes in Mark Carney's aggressive take on the issue as it plans to control inflation, unemployment and has a contingency plan.

Mervyn King, the governor of the Bank of England, said that the economy should be left alone in order for the "automatic stabilizers to work." He said that the "government's plan to aid home buyers shouldn't become permanent."
