Economic debate is missing a beat
In: Uncategorized
14 Nov 2011This is my latest Perspective column for Fund Strategy. One of the unexpected side effects of the economic crisis is to turn prominent dead economists into rap stars. A video featuring a rap battle between John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) versus Friedrich August Hayek (1899-1992) has received over 2.8m hits while the sequel has garnered 1.3m. [...]

What I am up to
In: Uncategorized
17 Apr 2011Rather than apologising again for my lack of posting I thought it would make more sense to write a note on what I have been doing. After focusing for several years on the theme of growth scepticism – albeit one that incorporates many subjects under its umbrella – I am working on lots of shorter [...]

BBC superficial on banks and crisis
In: Uncategorized

It provided the public with the opportunity to hear many of the key players involved including bankers, regulators and expert commentators. The programme was also a vivid illustration of the strengths and weaknesses [...]
