Sam Whimster (ed), with John McFall, Stuart Fraser, Viara Bojkova, Mark Field MP, Mica Panica, Joceyln Pixley, Jacques Reland, Helen Parry, Nick Kochan, John Kay, Michael Mainelli, Xuecheng Jing, Chris Dixon, Saskia Sassen, Thomas Harris, and Stephen Haseler
This collection of essays derives from the presentations and contributions delivered at a major international conference, ‘The Future of the City of London’, organised by the Global Policy Institute of London Metropolitan University at the Bloomberg Centre in early 2009.
The authors comprise a unique blend of international experts and academics, financial sector decision-makers (including bankers) and public policy-makers. Particularly notable are the contributions from representatives of the two main British political parties, the MPs John McFall and Mark Field, which are refreshingly candid about the challenges that lay ahead – and off-centre from the official positions of their parties.
