Excessive leverage turned what should have been an adjustment into a credit crunch
Julie Meyers: What the UK can learn from the US attitude towards entrepreneurialism
Monday, 23 November 2009
Gerard Hendrik Hofstede called National Culture the Software of the Mind in his seminal book by that name. Many things about growing up in America support entrepreneurship.

Stephen Foley: Would you care if AOL were to disappear?
Saturday, 21 November 2009
US Outlook: If you wanted to read last night about Oprah Winfrey quitting her chat show, or Michelle Obama's wardrobe, you could have gone to AOL's website. But of course you didn't have to. There's lots of coverage of Oprah out there on the web. And if you were after something more entertaining by half, you might watch a Barack and Michelle elf dance on YouTube.

James Moore: Pennycook's price right
Friday, 20 November 2009
Outlook A crowded field for the Morrison's job, then, and no wonder. Marc Bolland will be a hard act to follow, but much of the really tough work turning the business around has already been done.

Friday, 20 November 2009
Outlook Some common sense from the EU – well, its member states, anyway – which have put the boot into tariffs on shoes made in Vietnam and China. The 10 per cent and 16.5 per cent charge on each country (respectively) is damaging to trade with one of the world's most important regions, and sets a bad precedent.
