What would you do to increase productivity and help everyone? 
Increase Immigration. Foreign Students economically are an export. 
Can the Crisis in the System be solved without Socialism?
Idle Capital held by British Companies is £350 Billion. A portion can solve the deficit. 
There needs to be a change in relationship between Labour and Capital. 
Is Immigration the cause of the Housing Crisis? Not at All. 
More housing needs to be built and this will require State Intervention.
