-Last week, Michael Skapinker wrote a piece in the FT entitled 'Britain's years of progress were no illusion.' It remembers 1970s Britain and asks us to retain a little perspective on the tremendous progress of the past three decades (in Britain and beyond).
-The NYT looks at the likely response of the US credit card industry to regulatory reform.
-Brazil and China will begin using their own currencies in official trade transactions, accelerating an intended shift away from the dollar by two of the world's (emerging) economic powers.
-How the Russian military (and pop stars?) sees the country's energy diplomacy with Europe, set to song and dance. Funny, and frighteningly true.
-Say it aint so, Arsene.
