Toxic banks did not add to GDP data
Financial Times, 22/03/2013, p.10, Unattributed

The Wall Street Journal (Europe), 22/03/2013, p.17, Eamonn Butler
"Why did no one see this coming?" asked Queen Elizabeth II at the London School of Economics shortly after the 2008 crash. The LSE's finest stared at their shoes. Mainstream—Keynesian—economists have been humiliated. They did not predict the crash, cannot explain it and their supposed solutions have been failing since 2008.

is after an election and it is much more possible that a future government will prefer to increase taxes instead," she said. Tony Travers, a director of research at the London School of Economics and an expert on local government finance, told Public Finance magazine: "You wouldn't know it from the headline figures, but local government, along with some other unprotected and unloved public services, looks likely to face at least 50% spending cuts between 2011-12 and 2017-2018."

As 'telehealth' grows, experts question cost benefits
Reuters UK (Web), 21/03/2013, Ben Hirschler
Martin Knapp, professor of social policy at the London School of Economics, one of the leaders of the study, said the disappointing results did not mean telehealth was a waste of time but did suggest it needed to be better targeted. In some cases, smarter technology and a scaling up of programmes might help improve the outcome, he added.

BBC (Web), 22/03/2013, Unattributed
Professor Tony Travers, local government expert at the London School of Economics, says many council assets are in any case important for reasons beyond the money that may or may not be realisable: "Civic art galleries are a manifestation of local identity, in the same way as football or cricket teams.
