Are some journalists guilty of “careless headlines or injudicious reporting” which risk becoming self-fulfilling prophecies of a very serious nature? Peter Wilby discusses reporting on the current crisis in his piece today for the Guardian. In it he also refers to my 2003 New Statesman article warning of the coming debt crisis.

Welcome to my blog about the financial crisis. I'm Ann Pettifor, author and analyst of the global financial system, and co-author of the Green New Deal. I predicted an Anglo-American debt-deflationary crisis back in 2003, and am known for my work on sovereign debt and international finance, including Jubilee 2000. Currently a fellow of the new economics foundation and director of Advocacy International.
