The Crunch Issue

Will London's eastward turn be halted by the credit crunch? Rising East authors address the cause and effects of the credit crunch on the East London region and its international relations.

Gavin Poynter sets out the role of credit in London's economy. Michael Savage takes a fresh look at boom and bust in house prices. James Stevens is concerned about further reductions in housebuilding. Ian Abley reckons Thames Gateway growth was so low there is little to belittle. Iain Macrury vets The Apprentice as a show of business credibility. Richard Sharpe audits the magazine industry as it tightens up. Andrew Blake compares the workings of credit with the magic of Harry Potter. Andrew Calcutt claims that credit, culture and the crunch are all derived from the fetishism of production.
