Crunch explained

In a very readable Guardian article, John Lanchester explains the crunch and asks whether our view of the markets can ever be the same again.

The full article by John Lanchester is in the London Review of Books at:

That issue of LRB also contains an article by Donald Mackenzie on the importance of Libor.

Interesting that Lanchester is a novelist and Mackenzie a sociologist.

Thanks for mentioning this. Lanchester seems to be insightful and civilised. His article on Rupert Murdoch is well worth reading as well.
