Belated look at falling incomes
In: Uncategorized
30 Mar 2011There belatedly follows my comment from the 21 March issue of Fund Strategy in which I discuss evidence showing that Britain’s official statistics have for many years underestimated the impact of inflation. One important implication of this is that real incomes have fallen even further than previously realised. A follow-up story in the Guardian by […]

His recent e-book, The Great Stagnation, has stirred up a lot of debate among economists and sounds really interesting – unfortunately I do not have a kindle so I cannot get […]

In: Uncategorized
14 Mar 2011This is my comment from the latest Fund Strategy. Those without the time to read several newspapers may have missed last week’s heated semi-public row within Britain’s elite about reform of the banking system.

West is forever blowing bubbles
In: Uncategorized
7 Mar 2011This is my latest weekly comment from Fund Strategy. For anyone who remembers the investment world of the 1990s there are clear signs suggesting a technology bubble could be inflating. Not only is it fund managers’ favourite sector, judging by the latest Bank of America Merrill Lynch survey, but recent deals have the whiff of […]
