Financial system like a 'casino'
Financial Times, 03/06/2013, p.22, David Oakley
John Kay, the economist and author, will warn this week that the world is heading for another financial crisis because the economic system is geared around trading profits that create market bubbles that inevitably burst.

The professor, who is a columnist

The Sunday Times, 02/06/2013, p.23, Adam Boulton
