Larry Elliott bids goodbye at the Guardian

A really interesting piece in today's Guardian, marking the end of Larry Elliott's 28 year tenure as Economics editor. It provides a broad sweep of the economic history of the period, and the lessons that he's learnt along the way. He argues that the free market experiment has failed, but that there's been no credible alternative to it emerge. He also notes the changed nature of economic gravity and the implications of globalization going into reverse. However, the final lesson is perhaps the most interesting of all, and a fitting conclusion to a splendid career.
