Is your nation going back to its roots Mega? :)


"L'Angleterre est une nation de boutiquiers"
--Napoleon--
From the article:


...Typically, companies accepted for the scheme will be those considered of significant importance in their local community - such as high street stores...

...It effectively means that tax payers will own a stake in local high street firms...
It would appear little has changed in jolly old England since the days of Adam Smith [emphasis mine]...


"To found a great empire for the sole purpose of raising up a people of customers, may at first sight, appear a project fit only for a nation of shopkeepers. It is, however, a project altogether unfit for a nation of shopkeepers, but extremely fit for a nation whose government is influenced by shopkeepers."
--Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations, 1776--
