DESCRIPTION:In his book "Mrs Thatcher's Economic Experiment" William Keega
 n won acclaim (even from critics) for the virulence of his attack on the g
 overnment's monetarist policies of the early 1980s. These\, in his opinion
 \, produced an unnecessarily severe recession and much social damage. His 
 new book\, "Mr Osborne's Economic Experiment " is a conscious echo of that
  earlier work. Keegan believes that\, although the circumstances are diffe
 rent\, there are parallels in the way that unnecessarily deflationary poli
 cies aggravated the recession that was initially brought on by the financi
 al crisis\,and have caused needless social hardship. William Keegan has be
 en the Senior Economics Commentator of The Observer for many years\, havin
 g previously worked at the Bank of England and the Financial Times.
