Playing the Long Game - How to Save the West from Short-Termism

Informationen zum Autor Laurie worked for 8 years in finance as a research analyst in two investment banks, Citigroup and Dresdner Kleinwort, and in a technology venture capital fund.

He received a double 1st in Economics from Cambridge University and is a Chartered Financial Analyst. He recently launched a crowdfunded bid to buy The Times from Rupert Murdoch, which while unsuccessful gained a decent amount of press coverage and pledges from the public.
