The Big Takeover : Rolling Stone. Baltic Dry bounce is misleading - Investors Chronicle. AIG Implodes: The Two Cows Version. The Financial Services Club's Blog: The future of finance. This week's Economist has a really interesting 14-page supplement all about The Future of Finance, as well as a front page looking inside bank's toxic assets.

It immediately caught my attention, as I'm a sad git who gets more excited by magazines with covers that mention banks than I do with ones that have half-dressed women on the front, so I immediately grabbed a copy and wrapped it around my monthly Nuts mag to read on the tube. Trouble is that my eye was caught by some of the articles and so I recommend you read the whole supplement as it has some great content, opinion and discussion, as well as some great stats and quotes, such as: "In America, savings fell from around 10% of disposable income in the 1970s to 1% after 2005. " Policymaking in a recession.
