Ring of Steel: Financial Districts in the 21st Century. Absent from the political economy classes. Feeling an urge to share an expert's briefing on British market deregulations and potential re-regulation as well as his opinion on London City's dependence on EU policies, I just copy and paste the whole text by Nicolas Vernon.
