Blog Information

As you might expect from the Sunday Times' economics editor this site is focused on financal news and views and includes both the writings of David himself in addition to some text from other sources.


We like the clean look of this blog and the detail of the information contained in the posts is of a high quality.


However, some of the links are small and blur into the background colour and the prevalence of wristwatches everywhere is confusing to say the least.


For solely financial information this is a solid site. Some of the language may be a bit technical but for those with an interest this is a good source of information from a well-connected writer.
