West End inquiry backs car-¬free shopping and 24-hour Tube
Financial Times, 01/05/2013, p.4, James Pickford
In mid-May the London Finance Commission, an independent body chaired by LSE academic Tony Travers, will report on ways for the capital to retain more of its tax revenues. One option for doing so is through a so-called City Deal, under which the government might devolve taxes such as property stamp duty or a new tourism tax to provide a fresh source of investment for the capital.

Jean Floud
The Daily Telegraph, 01/05/2013, p.27, Unattributed
The daughter of a shoe mender, Jean Esther McDonald was born at Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, on November 3 1915. She won a free place at the local girls’ grammar school, but left before completing her studies, though she eventually attended the London School of Economics after taking evening classes, graduating in Sociology in 1936. At the LSE she met Peter Floud, a young Oxford graduate from a very different — upper-class — social background. They married in 1938 after they had both joined the Communist Party.

'Germany will think twice before saving France again'
Telegraph (Web), 30/04/2013, Ambrose Evanspritchard
Professor Paul De Grauwe from the London School of Economics has largely debunked the myth that Germany achieved its miracle by carrying out the Hartz IV reforms under Chancellor Gerhard Schröder. These labour reforms helped, but they were marginal. In some key respects Germany’s labour markets are more rigid today that those of Italy or Spain.
