By Stephen Cranston Verified| Business Day Verified My career in journalism started at the height of the Reagan/Thatcher free-market era. At the Financial Mail under Stephen Mulholland and Nigel Bruce, US ideologues such as Don Caldwell and Richard Grant were recruited. They had the dual role of writing “on message” copy and training us on the benefits of free market policies, what we now refer to as the Washington Consensus. So it seems particularly odd to me that the US Republican government under President Donald Trump is so keen on tariffs.
By Stephen Cranston Verified| Business Day Verified Because fund management is not a recognised profession, you often hear that people came into money management “by accident”, all too frequently as an alternative to auditing. I, too, started writing about unit trusts and fund management by accident. I have no formal economics training. When I first started working for Andrew McNulty in the investments section of Financial Mail, I wasn’t all that clear about the difference between a balance sheet and an income statement.
