  • How socialism has destroyed Venezuela

    February 25, 2014

    MILTON Friedman once said that, if you put the government in charge of the Sahara desert, there’ll eventually be a shortage of sand. No wonder that, after 14 years of socialist government, Venezuela – the country with the world’s largest oil reserves – is currently importing gasoline. This fact highlights Venezuela’s painful descent into chaos, [...]

  • Why boardroom psychology trumps consumer optimism

    February 25, 2014

    MOST of the commentary on the UK’s economic recovery focuses on consumers. Are they taking on too much debt again to finance their spending? Is there a bubble in house prices, as people get more excited about bricks and mortar? Certainly, in terms of sheer size, spending by consumers is by far the biggest component [...]

  • Big Data: Don’t ignore the dark side

    February 25, 2014

    SOFTWARE rules the world. This isn’t just what we say out in Silicon Valley, or a belief that my sector matters most – it’s a simple statement of fact. What’s caused this to happen? In today’s world, data is everywhere and what was once thrown away is now cheaper to store. We generate more electronic [...]

  • Why the end of MtGox is great news for Bitcoin

    February 25, 2014

    The death of Bitcoin's most popular exchange couldn't have come sooner. MtGox is reported to have lost up to 744,408 Bitcoin – or around six per cent of all in circulation – as a result of problems with its own software. That's according to a currently unverified document, allegedly a leak from MtGox itself, after [...]

  • Letters to the Editor – 25/02 – Intimidated Russia, Best of Twitter

    February 24, 2014

    Intimidated Russia [Re: Russia must back down over Ukraine to avoid a catastrophe, yesterday] The situation with Russia is more complicated than generally appreciated. Suppose the communist system of the USSR had triumphed and that, one by one, European states had applied to join that Union, and were then invited to join the Warsaw Pact. [...]

  • How Alex Salmond is ignoring the real risks of Scottish independence

    February 24, 2014

    WHETHER it is best for Ukraine to split, or the UK to join the emerging Single European State, or Catalonia to leave Spain, or Scotland to leave the UK are not fundamentally economic questions. Rather, they are bound up with constitutional issues, issues of identity, and the question of with whom one wants to share [...]

  • Tory policy is becoming a mess of contradictions

    February 24, 2014

    AS RECOVERY becomes entrenched, it is easy to forget the sense of urgency of those heady days in May 2010, when the Tory-Lib Dem coalition agreement was thrashed out. The backdrop of the Greek implosion brought broad consensus on the need for a credible medium-term plan to repair the public finances. The Conservatives who, right [...]

  • Why the housing crisis is clobbering London businesses

    February 24, 2014

    THE HOUSING crisis is the biggest challenge facing London. For the first time ever, it is now Londoners’ top concern. For low and middle income Londoners, home ownership is increasingly out of reach, rents consume an ever increasing percentage of their income, and homelessness is rising. But the crisis is also seriously damaging the competitiveness [...]

  • The West has killed its entrepreneurs and replaced them with bureaucrats

    February 23, 2014

    IF WESTERN economies have lost considerable ground to emerging powers over the last two decades, it is not simply because we lack the cheap labour of China and India or the natural resources of Russia and Brazil. It is because we have killed our own entrepreneurs at a time when our competitors made business creators [...]

  • City Matters: The growth of Islamic finance is critical to sustaining the City’s export weight

    February 23, 2014

    GEORGE Osborne signalled last week that he plans to encourage more trade and investment in next month’s Budget announcement. The chancellor rightly pointed out that this was critical to securing a sustainable recovery across the UK. The City plays a crucial role in underpinning the wider economy through job creation, investment, trade and exports. That [...]
