Re: The Anglo Disease - Financiers (none / 0)
Echoing Nomad, I'd say that, if you are aiming at being understood by the non-initiated, you might give an explanation of the counter-intuitive declining trend line in the first graph compared to "a 20-year bull market for bonds". Ie, explain the mechanics of bond markets a bit.

Does it help to say that as the price of a bond goes up its yield goes down? Is that what's counter-intuitive about it?

Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?
