E.U. may resist the radical but it needs drastic action
International Herald Tribune, 12/12/2012, p.18, Peter Eavis
Some analysts say the central bank should be unilaterally allowed to support stressed countries without attaching strings to the program. “All the countries that might use this have already done austerity,” said Paul De Grauwe, a professor of European political economy at the London School of Economics.

We're different now: census shows a changing of the guard in Britain
The Guardian, 12/12/2012, p.1, Jonathan Freedland
Tony Travers of the London School of Economics marvelled at the figures, which among other things showed that more than a third of Londoners are born overseas. "It's a reminder of just how much we've changed," he said, like catching your reflection after 10 years without looking in a mirror. "You know you've aged in that time, but it's still a shock to see it."

Fixing a system that just isn't working
Evening Standard, 11/12/2012, p.42, Anthony Hilton
But Paul Woolley, a fund manager-turned-academic, together with Professor Dimitri Vayanos, a colleague at the London School of Economics has a different explanation. They say that to blame the dot-com boom and the Lehman bust is to focus on symptoms not causes. They say the real underlying reason that equity returns are so poor is that the financial system is not working as it should, and in Taming the Finance Monster, a paper published this month in the Central Banking Journal, they explain why.

Airports aren't just for London, PM tells Boris
Evening Standard, 11/12/2012, p.22, Nicholas Cecil
The Prime Minister called Heathrow a “great national asset” and warned people not to “talk down” the west London airport. He said the review by former London School of Economics boss Sir Howard Davies needed time to come up with a plan to modernise Britain’s air links rather than creating more “hot air”.
