Quote:

‘I would consider my life a failure if my kids worked in the City. It is soul-destroying work and our society has been ruined by this concept that you’re a success if you go into the City, with the rape and pillage it entails.’ Oliver Peyton (1963-)


The News:

Hungary gets $25B from the EU, IMF and World Bank.


The Numbers:

The Psychology:

Many hoping that a 50 basis point cut in the US will ‘fix’ the problem.


The Risk:
