Banks in Recovery as Home Foreclosures Hit Record
ipsnews.net — The banks are selling stock and debt, and racking up excellent returns on mortgages, loans, high credit card rates and refinancings. Meanwhile, home foreclosures in April were 342,000 — the highest level yet — and average national unemployment rose to 8.9 percent, the highest level since 1983. Some communities are just barely hanging on.

Bail-out Kings and Backbench Barons Beware
ft.com — We need to reassert the notion that roles of authority are positions of responsibility rather than declarations of personal merit and routes to personal enrichment. That notion goes with old-fashioned concepts of social obligation and public service. An insistence that power is a duty, not a prize, is probably the most important reason why some countries in the world are rich and others poor. The point needs to be brought home in equal measure to legislators, chief executives and bankers.
