Forget fairness
In: Uncategorized
30 Jan 2012This is my latest Perspective column for Fund Strategy. “That’s so unfair”. The familiar shriek of teenagers when exasperated by their parents. Politicians also seem to have taken it up with fervour when discussing contemporary capitalism. Earlier this month the leaders of both Britain’s main political parties were at it. David Cameron, the prime minister, [...]

Even Republicans uneasy on wealth
In: Uncategorized
27 Jan 2012This piece was originally written as a blog post for www.fundweb.co.uk The first and last paragraphs can be ignored by the general reader as they are aimed at the publication’s readers. The more general point, about how even Republican presidential candidates are anxious about prosperity, is of broader interest. Anyone who advises individuals on wealth [...]

America’s sovereign crisis
In: Uncategorized
20 Jan 2012This is the final box from my recent Fund Strategy cover story Just as the eurozone crisis is not all about sovereign debt it is wrong to see the Lehman Brothers collapse as just a banking crisis. Too many people see the problems that erupted on Wall Street in 2008 as entirely the fault of [...]

Keynesians also fetishise debt
In: Uncategorized
16 Jan 2012This is my latest Perspective column for Fund Strategy. There is an obvious riposte to last week’s Perspective column in which I attacked what I called “debt fetishism”. Although some political figures, most notably David Cameron, can be criticised for their debt obsession there are other influential voices who oppose this view. Barack Obama is [...]

Inequality did not cause the crisis
In: Uncategorized
13 Jan 2012Was inequality one of the main causes of the economic crisis? The contention is supported by influential voices such as Bill Gross of Pimco and Raghuram Rajan, a former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund. The question has to be unpicked carefully. There are two blind alleys to avoid. The first is to focus [...]
