Post-Covid consumer mood could be more alienation than celebration For some there will be savings to spend, for others ‘persistent scarring effects’ about 4 hours ago   Fears, walks, strange dreams: this pandemic has led to an excess of many things. For the financially and professionally lucky, it has created a glut of “involuntary” savings now poised to be spent once restrictions fall away. But in which directions will the money spray?
