European financial system

The European financial landscape has changed dramatically over the last couple of years and the pace of change appears to have moved into a higher gear with the establishment of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). However, although EMU and the introduction of the euro have played a pivotal role in the changes the European financial system has been undergoing, a host of other factors can be ident…

The Fundamental Principles of Financial Regulation

There is a widespread view that the Credit Crunch of 2007-9 was, in part, a result of insufficient reach of regulation and that a solution is to take existing regulation and spread it more comprehensively across more institutions and jurisdictions. That would be an incorrect diagnosis. At the heart of the crisis were highly regu- lated institutions in regulated jurisdictions. The crisis has inv…

Modern Banking

The term ‘‘banking’’ can be applied to a large range of financial institutions, from savings and loans organisations to the large money-centre commercial banks in the USA, or from the smallest mutually owned building society to the ‘‘big four’’ shareholder owned banks in the UK.

With a Little Help

It turns out the future doesn't really care about space travel. It used to, or at least when I was growing up all the science fiction I read promised that space travel would someday be commonplace. That was what made it the future: we would all be so bored with flying to other planets that we wouldn't even really talk about it anymore, it would just become a dull backdrop to our daily lives. Th…

THE DOMINION OF THE AIR

He that would learn to fly must be brought up to the constant practice of it from his youth, trying first only to use his wings as a tame goose will do, so by degrees learning to rise higher till he attain unto skill and confidence." So wrote Wilkins, Bishop of Chester, who was reckoned a man of genius and learning in the days of the Commonwealth. But so soon as we come to inquire into the mat…

In this rude monument for ages be recorded this wondrous enterprise succes…

Alone Together - Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other

Thirty years ago, when I joined the faculty at MIT to study computer culture, the world re- tained a certain innocence. Children played tic-tac-toe with their electronic toys, video game missiles took on invading asteroids, and “intelligent” programs could hold up their end of a serious chess match. The first home computers were being bought by people called hobby- ists. The people who boug…

ON THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SCIENCE AND ART

“Only sociology, founded on biology, founded on all the positive sciences, can give us the laws of humanity. Humanity, or human communities, are the organisms already prepared, or still in process of formation, and which are subservient to all the laws of the evolution of organisms. “One of the chief of these laws is the variation of destination among the portions of the organs. Some peopl…

SCIENCE IN ARCADY

These essays deal for the most part with Science in Arcady. 'Tis my native country: for I am not of those who 'praise the busy town.' On the contrary, in the words of the great poet who has just departed to join Milton and Shelley in a place of high collateral glory, I 'love to rail against it still,' with a naturalist's bitterness. For the town is always dead and lifeless. There are who admire…
