We focus this month on money. First, the real direct costs of the Iraq and Afghan wars. The figures have soared without a whisper of apology, but rather with every effort to conceal. We see where the money has come from and what it means for our future. We dig into the relative strengths of gold and paper currency. Should we be buying ingots?
We take a hard look at inflation run wild, the Zimbabwe experience, what happens when all restraint is cast aside. And we blush at the contempt in which elected politicians hold their constituents. We know best, is their approach. A quick look at Russia’s new economic clout rounds out the money side of April, but we also see how three different newspapers present the same story. Their reporters might have been on different planets?
