The SNP Growth Commission document has provoked a lot of debate this month. It has many flaws, but the most glaringly obvious is that it has woven into its fabric a belief that global capitalism with its free markets and neoliberal policies is the only possible economic structure for a future Scotland.
It seems to forget that this is the very system that Scotland has been operating under and that it can account for most of its economic woes.
Some SNP supporters may have believed that once it was free of the iron grip of the UK Treasury it would take a different course, but Nicola Sturgeon’s endorsement of the Growth Commission’s report has stated loud and clear that this is not the case.
