Economist's View

When Will The Fed Change Its Reaction Function?, by Tim Duy: The March FOMC minutes were generally interpretted as having a dovish tenor, contrasting with the generally hawkish reception for the statement and ensuing press conference.

The Demise of Virgin Money US It appears that earlier this month the Virgin Money US web site (www.virginmoneyus.com) shut down. It has been clear for some time that Virgin’s foray into peer to peer lending in the US was not working out the way it expected. But now it looks like they have completely pulled the plug in the US.

The global markets don't much like European sovereign debt--even German debt!

Il était le leader de l'école du Public choice.
