Even the economists who endorsed the Chancellor are abandoning him
New Statesman, 20/08/2012, p.5, Unattributed
Danny Quah of the London School of Economics wrote: “Have I changed my mind since signing the letter? Yes. Because circumstances have changed . . . The fear that UK borrowing would become overly costly has become much less relevant.” Another economist who signed the letter, the Nobel laureate Christopher Pissarides, had already changed his position on deficit reduction, urging the government in an NS article in October last year to stimulate demand through tax cuts.

Free exchange - On the origin of specie
The Economist, 18/08/2012
But the story just doesn’t match the facts in most monetary economies, according to a 1998 paper** by Charles Goodhart of the London School of Economics. Take the widespread use of precious metals as money. A Mengerian would say that this happens because metals are durable, divisible and portable: that makes them an ideal medium of exchange. But it is incredibly hard to value raw metals, Mr Goodhart argued, so the cost of using them in trade is high. It is much easier to assess the value of a bag of salt or a cow than a lump of metal. Raw metals fail Menger’s own saleableness test.

PHOTOGRAPHY Changing the aspect
New Statesman, 20/08/2012, p.42, Ray Monk
The importance Wittgenstein attached to seeing was vividly portrayed -in an appropriately visual form -in the "Wittgenstein: Philosophy and Photography" exhibition at the London School of Economics earlier this summer and, before that, at the University of Cambridge.
I hate to say it, but Boris is right. Our leaders are fiddling while the economy burns
Daily Mail (Scotland)*, 16/08/2012, p.14, Daniel Johnson
For Britain is no longer merely competing with our neighbours across the Channel - and in a globalised economy, workers in the West are becoming increasingly uncompetitive. The extent of this was laid bare in a recent presentation to the London School of Economics by Jon Moynihan, chairman of PA Consulting, a management consultancy that operates in 30 countries.
Experts attack Osborne over austerity plan
The Guardian (North), 16/08/2012, p.1, Larry Elliott
Tim Besley, economics professor at the London School of Economics and a former member of the Bank of England's monetary policy committee, said: "I would prefer to see government resources used in a targeted way and there may be creative ways of using the government balance sheet. I am particularly keen to have more focus on housing in the near term."
