Still leading the world

Last weekend, despite its dedicated finance research team’s best efforts, once again your editorial board breathed a collective sign of relief when The Sunday Times Rich List hit the news stands without mentioning the Rust or its multi-layered off-shore ownership details. We continue to take [...]
