The New Economics Foundation has a new version of its publication 'Why we need a new macroeconomic strategy' out.
As they say:

The roots of our current problems lie beyond the credit crunch in the UK's dangerous dependence on a large financial sector, poor current account, low productivity and uneven regional development. It is time for a new macroeconomic strategy — one that is more equal, provides employment for those who want it, minimises our impact on the planet, and maximises our well-being.
