Brian Green, Brickonomics blogger

Today our new blogger Brian Green, a journalist and commentator who has tracked trends in the sector for more than 20 years, has posted his analysis of the Office of National Statistics construction output figures.

In today鈥檚 blog he finds that by pulling apart the statisticians figures the headline figure of a 2% overall increase in output masks some worry underlying trends.

For just under two years his blog has charted the downturn and then the recession on the website of Contract Journal, which closed last month.

But happily Bricknomics is not coming to an end along with CJ. For loyal followers of Brickonomics and for readers who are new to it, you will now find Brian鈥檚 most up-to-date blogs, as well as archived material that is often illustrated with useful graphs, on 好色先生TV鈥檚 website.
