Amnesty argues successive UK Governments ‘created the system they now condemn’
The Prime Minister's recent troubles expose how badly our political leaders have lost touch with the shifting demands of the modern era, argues Neal Lawson
Roger Vicquéry and Kevin Hjortshøj O’Rourke While the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1973 has traditionally been seen as heralding a major shift towards floating exchange rates, the extent of this transition away from fixed arrangements has been called into question by a ‘New Consensus’ view. We provide a new index to measure … Continue reading How fixed are global exchange rates?
A Klee painting named ‘Angelus Novus’ shows an angel looking as though he is about to move away from something he is fixedly contemplating. His eyes are staring, his mouth is open, his wings are spread. This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. When we perceive […]

Ian in his last post mentioned that our Asian allies are slipping away from us. While we pretend to strategically re-orient the Japanese are engaging in massive rearmament begun by Abe and being continued by the current government. Japan has lost confidence in the American security umbrella because of the deceit we’ve displayed in foreign relations. The Koreans? I lived in Korea. They’re simply apoplectic. Some are even at the point where they are willing to consider a loose confederation with the north, an entente of sorts so the South has the protection of the North’s nuclear umbrella and the North gains goods and services from the South.
