"life after the corporation"
Spotted recently a blog called Make Wealth History. The author lists the following companies which, in his opinion, do not run corporation models of businesses and which should be on our top priority list in the time corporations are sinking.
In short, he explains example through example, how being anti-corporational does not mean being anti-business orientated. My personal doubts, and austerity of my imagination, do not allow me posting the branding images. Read the full original post here.

skirt friendly RBS
The wind is turning in London financial district gender politics. It is to be seen whether it is just one of the omnipresent lip-services associated to Government, but women are going to be more represented in the boards. It already sounds like something bringing more profit in the name of political correctness, but not necessarily - leadership positions, either a guarantee of the macho culture elimination in the City, as mentioned in the recent Telegraph articles.

how far can the politics tolerate the decency
This months' screenings at ICA, London, include Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer, the documentary on famous Democratic New York Governor who fought corruption among investemnt banking circles of Wall Street, and has been labeled its "fallen angel" and "Luv Guv", after a sex scandal attributed to him has been revealed in 2008, months before the financial crises. The day the news leaked Wall Street brokers opened the champagne bottles and celebrated.
The film investigates why for Eliot Spenzer prosecuting the financial giants involved the impossibility of staying intact himself; why there is a need for the politicians to be portrayed as decent men; to which extent it can be disputed; and what are the absolute values that (at least in American political arena) are not to be challenged? Why is Wall Street Family indisputable and bigger than any other family the US?
Match point.
