Inflation or Growth
Do People really know the difference between inflation and growth.
If the total price of 100 washing machines are £1000 in 2012 and you sell 100 washing machines in 2013 for £1100. That is 10% inflation, not growth. If you sell 110 washing machines for £1100. That is growth.
What we have now when we compare thew EU/USA etc with China/India/Brazil is comparing Apples with Pears.
Our population is relatively old and have gotten most of the consumer durable's we need [not want] and the Market is just a replacement market.
Whilst the C/I/B is a younger population and does not possess as much consumer durable's that we now possess but are getting there. Hence they have a greater growth rate then E/U etc
It's just maths, Country a] has 10 747's and buys one more, it as increased its air fleet by 10%.
Whilst Country b] has 100 747's and buys one more, it as increased its air fleet by 1%.
Or, 1+1 = 2 or 100% increase. 2+1 = 3 or 50% increase. 3+1 = 4 or 33% increase. 4+1 = 5 or 20% etc.
You cannot keep doubling growth for ever, even the mighty China's growth rate will slow once the population have got their quota of consumer tatt, sorry durable's.
What we need to do now is to consolidate what we have, replace the infrastructure that is worn out. not build new schemes when the old infrastructure can be refurbished for less then 50% of cost.
What will you do with the 15 minutes you save on the journey time, if the HS1 or 2 just goes past your station and does not stop and you have to spend 30 minutes extra travelling time to get to a station that the HS1 or 2 does stop at?
