Sean O'Grady: Bank's plan is perfect, and flawed
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 new
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.

US Outlook: Never mind philanthropy, what about us?
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: So, happily ever after for JP and Caz?
Friday, 20 November 2009
Outlook It's been the longest of corporate courtships. The terribly traditional Cazenove has been cohabiting with JP Morgan in a joint venture for years, but only yesterday tied the knot.
Hamish McRae: Tax rises are inevitable – but will need a lot of explaining to voters

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. A new CEO will therefore take control of a business in rude health in a sector where there is still plenty of room for a nimble number four operator to grow and grab market share from rivals.
James Moore: These tariffs need kicking into touch
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.
Ben Chu: The ideology that supports Big Finance
Friday, 20 November 2009
I've post many blogs describing the bizarre scene of elected politicians dancing to the tunes of a discredited banking sector.
