Delivery faces more difficult hurdles than race to get London ready for Olympics
Financial Times, 05/09/2013, p.2, Roger Blitz
But is it really possible to pull off the same trick again? As Tony Travers of the London School of Economics pointed out, the task of preparing the London games created a unique set of circumstances. “The Olympics boiled down to political consensus plus money plus a time limit which equalled instant results,” he said.

Millions face hunger in Zimbabwe - UN
The Guardian, 05/09/2013, p.18, David Smith
The argument does not seem likely to be resolved any time soon, however. Joseph Hanlon, a visiting senior fellow at the London School of Economics and author of Zimbabwe Takes Back its Land, insists that land reform is not the disaster that has been portrayed. He cited a shortage of rains as hurting this year's maize crop.

What are you reading?
Times Higher Education, 05/09/2013, p57
Pat Hudson, honorary research professor, London School of Economics, and professor emeritus of history, Cardiff University, is reading Philip Mirowski’s Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste: How Neoliberalism Survived the Financial Meltdown (Verso, 2013). “Neoliberalism’s ideological resilience is examined in a narrative that is funny yet serious, accessible but not simplistic. The Emperor of Economics and his generals, even to the left, have no new clothes. They have abandoned philosophy and history and have co-opted the state. We need to shout about it, but we also need more inspiration about the way forward.”

Ronald Coase
The Guardian, 05/09/2013, p.36, Mark Littlewood
Coase was born in Willesden, northwest London. His father worked for the post office, as had his mother before their marriage. After attending Kilburn grammar school on a scholarship, he studied at the London School of Economics, receiving a bachelor of commerce degree and joining its staff in 1935. In 1937, he married Marion Hartung, from Chicago.

Cameron's fracking reasoning is baseless economics, says Lord Stern
guardian.co.uk (Web), 04/09/2013, Damian Carrington
The intervention from Lord Stern, a cross-bench peer and professor at the London School of Economics, is significant as the economist very rarely makes direct attacks on politicians. He said that because UK gas was traded internationally any shale gas boom in the UK would be unlikely to have an impact on the gas price.
