Spanish policy under fire as the economy buckles again
The Daily Telegraph, 30/01/2013, p.4, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
Professor Luis Garicano from the London School of Economics said the recovery of EMU sovereign debt markets has not fed through to the real economy, leaving Spanish firms starved of credit and investment. “Credit constraints are forcing Spanish companies to eat up their future,” he said.

Stars in the making
Evening Standard, 29/01/2013, p.32, Nick Curtis
Floyd says it’s shameful that it’s taken this long for a British film to be made about young, complex, Arab, Muslim characters who are not terrorists. Not that he has suffered much stereotyping himself, having played everything from a teenage emo-goth to Freddie Mercury since he quit his degree in philosophy, logic and scientific method (“it sounds more complicated than it is”) at the London School of Economics to pursue acting.
