Housing market is booming again but the bust that's bound to follow will cost us dear
The Independent, 02/09/2013, p.47, David Blanch Flower
The newly knighted John Hills and five co-authors from the London School of Economics have just published an authoritative study on the distribution of UK wealth, and how it changed up to the point when the Coalition took office. They illustrate the enormous importance of housing wealth in the UK and how house price rises lowered wealth inequality.

We can't bank on Carney to avoid carnage
The Sunday Express, 01/09/2013, p.34, Neil Hamilton
SHORTLY after the 2008 financial crash, the Queen managed to flummox all the “experts” at the London School of Economics by asking them: “As it was so large, why did no one see it ¬coming?” Cue much clearing of throats and shuffling of feet. Then the LSE’s director of research, explained: “At every stage, someone was relying on somebody else and everyone thought they were doing the right thing.”

£50 billion HS2 fund would be better spent on improving railways, says Tony Travers
Evening Standard, 30/08/2013, p.10, Matthew Beard
Mr Travers’ comments came as chancellor George Osborne prepares this weekend to lead a Government fightback over the project after mounting concern over costs and economic benefits. The London School of Economics academic said: “If the same money - whether it’s £50bn or £70bn - were available for public transport in London, Birmingham, Manchester and other cities it’s hard to believe it wouldn’t be better used there. But the truth is the money would not be available so either you get the money for HS2 or you get nothing. If I were prime minister I would not spend the cash on this, I’d spend it on improving the existing railways and transport infrastructure.”

Rupee slump a hard lesson for Indian students overseas
Reuters UK (Web), 01/09/2013, Anurag Kotoky
The rupee slump has also caught out those who had been cautious with budgeting. Ridhima Tomar, who will pursue a degree in Social Policy and Development at the London School of Economics this month, thought she had made a conservative calculation on the exchange rate at 95 per pound. The rupee now trades at 103 and she estimated her costs have risen 20 per cent compared with last year.

Researching for humanity: the death of Arthur Helton & the survival of Gil Loescher
Open Democracy (Web), 30/08/2013, Unattributed
It turns out he was born in San Francisco and grew up in California, but, in the late 60s did his PhD at the London School of Economics before spending 25 years working at the University of Notre Dam, near Chicago. The PhD focussed on the Vietnam war, and it was then that he developed an interest in refugees and human rights.
