After leaving school I was offered a great job working as a management account trainee and so I abandoned my plans to go to university and took up this great opportunity.

    Recently, I was trying to find some consoling words for a friend experiencing a protracted work-related crisis.  He stopped me in my tracks by mournfully admitting “Just when I thought this was the light at the end of the tunnel, it turned out to be an approaching train..” Ah, the cruelty of the false dawn.

    Is this recession the great global leveller?

    One of the most sobering aspects of the current financial crisis is the way that so many different economies and so many different types of economy have been hit.

    China, boasting as it did a double-digit growth rate and vast reserves, looked to be in a commanding position. The US with its creative businesses like Apple, the financial muscle of Wall Street, plus an uncompromising belief in free markets looked equally impressive.
