FT review of Peter Singer on famine
5 Dec 2015This is my book review from yesterday’s FT. What would you do if you were walking past a shallow pond in which a small child was drowning? There can be little doubt that the vast majority of people would wade in to save the child even if it came at the relatively trivial cost of […]

Comparing China and the West
In: Uncategorized
12 Jul 2015There follows my Fund Strategy Polemic column for July. For all the talk of a possible bubble in US technology stocks, the rise in the Nasdaq over the past year is dwarfed by the surge in the Shanghai and Shenzen stockmarket indices.

Normally fighting in the Middle East and the Ukraine would be expected to push up oil prices. Only this year the price has fallen sharply since June. According to the US Energy Information Administration […]

Feature on emerging markets
In: Uncategorized
8 Nov 2014For those who are interesting I have written just had an article on the economic and financial transition of emerging markets in IPE magazine (free registration needed to read). However, I have not pasted the text here as it reflects the views of the interviewees more than my own.
Confronting the China challenge
In: Uncategorized

Britain still needs rebalancing
