Secrets of a soon to be missed central banker

Speaking Tuesday UK chancellor Gordon Brown spoke in glowing terms of Sir Edward George, the soon to depart governor of the Bank of England. "I will miss Eddie" he said, and went on to reveal a few central banking secrets, including the case of the vanishing scotch.

First published in the Financial Times, UK edition on 22 May.

Yet another indication, if it were needed, that Gordon Brown would prefer to deal with an independent-minded Bank of England governor than a Frankfurt-based central banker.
