DownloadA SYSTEM RUN AMOK

The crisis has revealed how bankers have too often taken massive bets – normally with other people’s money – without paying adequate attention to the risks. Ordinary savers have lost out, taxpayers may end up footing the bill and the evil of inflation has been allowed to seep back into the global economy.
