A mixed bag of financial news and views from around the world, including lost jobs, social unrest, and sex discrimination.
- The Deal reported on Wall Street layoffs.
- The International Monetary Fund warned that the current economic crisis could push millions into poverty, and ultimately lead to war.
- In a very interesting post on Australian Anthill, Mike Walsh speculates on the future of finance.
- Problems for the Dutch with ING bonuses sound familiar. What’s up with those three initial firms?
- Women’s Space pointed out that those losing their jobs in financial services are disproportionately women. Funny, you don’t see too many women heading up Ponzi schemes.
