DELIGHTED though I was with the fourth-quarter growth figures published on Thursday â they were certainly one in the eye for the â project fearâ types who prophesied instant economic disaster were we to dare to vote Leave â I wish it were possible to glean even the faintest sign of the fabled re-balancing of the economy. All of this was wiped out by the perfor...

SURVEYING the carnage of his share portfolio in the crash of 1973-1974, the historian AJP Taylor noted in his diary that while he had been predicting (and rather hoping for) the collapse of capitalism all his adult life, actually experiencing it was most inconvenient.

I trust youâ re battening down the hatches this weekend and getting ready for the looming rise in interest rates. Not that growth and jobs are bad things in themselves, you understand, but inflation is apparently in danger of over-shooting its two per cent annual target, and the MPC is supposed to use interest rates to keep it somewhere near the target level. True, the la...

Laquo; The genius conning the conmen. More weekend money savers ». 31 October 2006 8:00 AM. 10 ways to avoid falling into the opticians' money-grabbing trap. I'm staring at an egg timer. I've been doing a lot of that lately. If I had known 30 years ago that I would be paid to sit and stare at an egg timer I probably would have paid more attention at school. Imagine how rich and lazy I'd be if I had learned early on that doing absolutely nothing could be so rewarding. I don't know what the official statis...

At 2.3 per cent in the year to February, it is barely above the official two per cent target and is well within the one percentage point â corridorâ either side of two per cent within which it is allowed to fluctuate. Then there was the reaction of sterling â it went up. Usually one would expect a decline, given that the internal value o...

YOU have to wonder whether anything that the incoming American president can say will spook Wall Street â or, indeed, the City. Oh, and he ripped into major pharmaceutical companies for, allegedly, charging too much for their treatments. What was the market reaction? Well, the drugs firms (or whatever we call them these days â life/bio/science/thing? In London...

Corporate social responsibility (the toughness or otherwise of Theresa May and her colleagues on boardroom pay and other abuses) and trade (will Donald Trump prove protectionist or a free trader or a protectionist with a soft spot for a UK trade deal)?

Early on we had the latest reading from the consumer confidence â barometerâ devised by market research firm GfK and at the end we were told that Snapchat, which has not only never made a profit but has racked up some quite impressive losses, is going to float shares for up to $3 billion (Â 2.4 billion). The filling in this sandwich was some entertainment courtesy of Royal Dutch Shell. Smartly on to She...

Now imagine an ultra-flexible workforce all on zero-hours contracts. The slackest period will simply see surplus staff rotated out on to the street, unpaid, and told to keep their mobiles switched on in order to be summoned to return when the pace of business justifies it. 1) Right Royal screw-up. It is hard to recall that, inside the wreckage, lurk some of the greatest na...

Laquo; Saturday PS: The silver-lining effect. Saturday PS: Going anywhere nice? 20 January 2017 4:29 PM. Saturday PS: A load of globaloney? Referendums, I have long thought, are a jolly good thing, even if most of the results in my lifetime have been the opposite of what I would personally have preferred: staying in the European Community (1975) and the creation of assorted banana-republic regimes in London, Scotland and Wales (1998, 1997 and 1997 respectively).
