Or is the recession in fact a sheath of silver lining underneath a dark cloud? The financial decisions of the few have shaped the destiny of many and to largely negative affect.

We ask the reverent Charles Thomson, the legendary painter Patrick Hughes and the up and coming new artist Eleanor Lindsay Fynn before putting the question to you.
