Investment Alternatives in a No Growth Economy

Is Australia’s Economy Decoupled From the Rest of the World?
The world’s best economy, with the world’s best banks, run by the world’s best treasurer, just posted a world-beating economic growth rate of 1 per cent for the three months to September. The Australian economy is, apparently, on fire, growing at an annual rate of nearly 5 per cent over the past six months.

But after seventeen years of economic growth in Australia, the market is trying not to grow. Unfortunately, the united efforts of the boffins in government, industry and pressure groups are trying to prevent this natural contraction in the market. And that’s a threat to one vital part of the economy – but I’ll get to that in a moment.
