Bath antiques dealer F Kach has published a new book about the economic crisis and a possible solution to it.

Mr Kach, who runs his business at the Bartlett Street Antiques Centre, has been publishing thought-provoking books since the sixties and the new one is Economic Crisis Solution and Global Industrial Revolution which is available from him at the antiques centre or email falkach@yahoo.com.

Mr Kach writes: "The fate of the world depends for generations to come on the result of universal competition in which one party, China, India and other factors are already scoring very well, while the other party, Western countries with all allies, who were taken by surprise but still owe the means to survive, are puzzled and not sure of what should be done."
