via Prosecuting bankers: Blind justice | The Economist.

The article looks at why so few bankers have gone to jail for their part in the financial crisis. Despite the millions of people unemployed in the World, either directly or indirectly because of the financial meltdown, it seems that Governments, especially in the US and the UK have been soft on the bankers.

In the UK, should we be challenging David Cameron’s Government for going soft on the bankers? Is cronyism at work here?

What do you think?

In my view, policy-makers are not doing enough to stimulate demand, increase growth and create jobs for young people. Most economists target the US, the UK and Germany in being too austerian.
