A new Van Zanten comic for the economist magazine ESB. It is about a ducth situation: the bankruptcy of V&D, a very old department store company, with many stores that are ‘iconic’ in many shopping streets in the Netherlands. My translation: 1) Different economic figures so far this year… Two years of profits in the stock market were lost, bringing the AEX-index to the level of 2014. 2) Consumer confidence went slightly down, but still remains at the level of 2008, just before the bank crisis. 3) Average house prices have even risen to the level of 2004. 4) Our shopping streets are back to a level of before 1887.
