London should quit the EU and ditch the UK too
Evening Standard, 14/05/2013, p.14, Simon Jenkins
Tomorrow a blueprint for London as a city state is to be published by the mayor’s London Finance Commission, chaired by the LSE’s Tony Travers. It proposes that the city recover its entire property tax base, comprising council tax, business tax and stamp duty. This would enable it to reorder Whitehall’s currently chaotic council tax and stamp duty banding system. The revenue would cover roughly half London’s current expenditure, and the rest could be recouped from London’s income tax, generously shared with the rest of Britain.

A tax to shore up French culture
International Herald Tribune, 15/05/2013, p.17, David Jolly
Monica Horten, a visiting fellow at the London School of Economics who studies the politics of intellectual property rights, said that, in principle, such levies were possible under E.U. law, but that “the problem is in the implementation.” The first issue would be drafting a law acceptable to the European Court of Justice, while another would be in actually getting device makers on board to pay the tax. “I think you can expect them to filibuster,” she said.

Cyberspace changes the fog of war
Politics.co.uk (Web), 14/05/2013, Unattributed
Technology is making war worse rather than better, an international relations professor has said. Christopher Coker of the London School of Economics told a Palace of Westminster audience that post-human technology, drones and the development of the cyberworld are all changing the landscape for war.

China: what we think we know is wrong
Open Democracy (Web), 15/05/2013, Unattributed
The father of modern Chinese sociology is Fei Xiaotong, who was trained at the London School of Economics. Fei's book Xiangtu Zhongguo (From the Soil: Foundations of Chinese Society) published in 1947 - two years before the Communist Party (CPC) came to power - contains the most famous elaboration of his core idea, that relationships in China are based on a model of elasticity, with each individual at the centre of a world of connections.

Sir Mervyn's date with history
BBC (Web), 15/05/2013, Unattributed
