The writing on the wall 12:35pm on 23 Jan 2009 What tripe! Clearly Stephanie Flanders is as out of touch with the real world as the vast majority of over employed city workers.

>Of course, economists weren't the only ones to miss the writing on the wall. Everyone did - bank chiefs, regulators, governments, and certainly voters.

Excuse me? And certainly voters? Did you ask any? There are a great number of real people around who have been predicting recession for a very long time indeed.

>"City mavericks can often lose their jobs, long before they are proved right."
That's a large part of the problem with the city. It's run for the quick buck and short term interests of the traders, not the long term good of the economy. Anyone that dares to think longer term and dare to suggest there might be problems should be promoted, not sacked.

How much tax payers money did Stephanie Flanders get paid for writing this rubbish?
