Corporation Of The City Of London

• A 'Flight' of Bankers

The City of London bankers seem to be offering the people a word to describe them, and it has nothing to do with rhyming slang. As they huff and puff about the special bonus tax, they threaten to leave London and take their headquarters elsewhere. Financial business is always threatening to leave London. However, many foreign insurance operations come to London for its unique advantages. Under the circumstances, it's interesting that the bankers are complaining about personal taxation and whinges about regulation and corporation tax are minor. The City of London really has little to fear from a flight of bankers if the City maintains a friendly regime for the City's other financial businesses. The problem is that the world is too complicated for the City to be able to pick on one group ...

• Financial Giants Face a Mighty Challenge

In early April, as leaders from the Group of 20 (G-20) countries gathered with the expectation that they would usher in a new world of global financial regulation, it seemed fitting that the location for the historic summit was London. After all, when it comes to foreign exchange, bonds and derivatives markets, London is a leading global financial center, and it seemed only natural that it should lead the world out of the current crisis. In the latest City of London Corporation's and consultancy Z/Yen Group's Global Financial Centers Index, published in March, London and New York retained their number-one and number-two rankings, followed by Singapore in third place, yet all 62 financial centers saw their ratings fall by an average of more than 20 points. The scale of the shrinkage of t...

• Supreme Court Sticks It to the Little Guy with Eminent Domain Ruling

When the leader of the city of New London, Conn.'s development corporation was asked about her role in driving middle-class residents out of their well-kept homes to make way for condos, a hotel and upscale shopping, she made a chilling declaration. "Anything that's working in our great nation is working because somebody left skin on the sidewalk," she said, according to the Institute for Justice, which challenged that redevelopment plan in the U.S. Supreme Court. WELL, THE nation's high court on Thursday, in a rebuttal to views of the nation's founders, declared that any property owner anywhere in America can be called on by government to leave their skin on the sidewalk. The good of the individual must yield to the good of the community, as defined by government officials. That'...
