Proposal to solve the global economic crisis

We are facing a global economic and financial crisis. People are scared to spend. They want to save money, in case they lose their job and need the money to spend at that time. 

The reduction in consumption is causing the economy to slow down badly. Businesses are hurt. They are not able to get encough sales to pay their expenses. They have to close down and retrench their employees. This will lead to a downward spiral.

The collapse of the value of property and other assets cause people to feel poor. They also cut down their spendings. 

Actually, the people still own the same houses and assets. They now believe that these assets are worth little, when one year ago, they thought that the assets are worth two or three times more. 

All this is just a matter of the mind. It is also called confidence. If we can get people to believe that they are rich, that their assets are worth more than they can fetch today, we can revive the global economy.
