Stimulus leaking out of the West's stagnant economies is flooding into emerging markets, playing havoc with currencies and economies. 29 Sep 2010 States accounting for two-thirds of the global economy are either holding down their exchange rates by direct intervention or steering currencies lower in an attempt to shift problems on to somebody else, each with their own plausible justification. Nothing like this has been seen since the 1930s. 26 Sep 2010 Irish borrowing costs hit post-EMU record as fears over Europe's debts grow after Dublin warns Anglo Irish Bank creditors of losses. 23 Sep 2010 Once a quorum of big names says the game is up in a debt crisis, events move fast and furiously. 19 Sep 2010 Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner issued his harshest attack to date on China’s currency policy in an escalating superpower clash. 16 Sep 2010 America and Europe face the worst jobs crisis since the 1930s and risk "an explosion of social unrest" unless they are careful, the IMF has warned. 13 Sep 2010 The neo-colonial rush for global farmland has gone exponential since the food scare of 2007-2008. 12 Sep 2010 The Phoney War between Brussels and Anglo-Saxon finance is at an end and life is about to change for London's financiers, traders and hedge funds. 09 Sep 2010 Brussels will use sweeping new powers to end speculation and impose order on the City and other EU bourses, warns Michel Barnier. 09 Sep 2010 Ireland is to break up the nationalised lender Anglo Irish Bank, hoping to end a disastrous saga that has shattered confidence in Irish finance. 08 Sep 2010 I try to remain optimistic that the US and China will work out a more or less amicable way to run the world for the next half century, a “Chimerica” of interwoven superpowers. 07 Sep 2010 Goldilocks has played a trick on America. Growth is not warm enough to prevent hard-core unemployment climbing to post-war highs and sticking at levels that corrode the body politic, but not yet cold enough to overcome the fierce resistance of the Fed's regional hawks for a fresh blast of stimulus. 05 Sep 2010 The US, Japan and large parts of Europe have exhausted their policy arsenal, leaving them defenceless against a double-dip recession. 05 Sep 2010Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
