Money Never Sleeps


As New York and London battle it out to claim the title of financial capital of the world, the themes of the iconic 1980s film Wall Street are more relevant than ever.
It'll be difficult for the sequel to live up to Wall Street.
How will it follow up the definitive "Greed is good" speech that embodied the relationship between Darwinism and capitalism?

Trader Monthly and more...

Trader Monthly magazine gives me a glimpse into the trading world.

Accompanying a news item on The Pursuit of Happyness, they recently had a poll on the best trading film ever, and Wall Street came top.

Meanwhile, I'm dividing my time between the 4Basra project, freelancing and other work. My last article was in Village magazine.

Wallpaper* founder Tyler Brulé's new publishing project, Monocle magazine looks like a promising prospect to look into in the new year.

Diplo Magazine is slowly coming along. Publisher Charles Baker recently spoke to troubled journalism weekly The Press Gazette.

Interesting times...
